Anyone breeding snake would have had to fork out the equivalent or more just to get two snakes that might not breed at all.

Good points Adder but it still perplexes me, the cost of W.A. reptiles. I'm sure if you're running as a business, these costs would be put down to the cost of running the business - in which case you could write the original license costs off to tax.

You havent made an allowance for the royalty payments for each animal caught, and for the vast amount of travel these guys put into thier collecting of the animals. One of the collectors that i use travels from the south end of WA to the pilbara region to collect animals
and i dont begrudge them the prices that they charge
