It would be nice to have Exotics legalised in Aust, but you have to consider the Quarrantine factor.
As with every animal that enters Aust is subject to a Quarrantine period, and I know for me personally I wouldnt like to pay X amount then wait between 2 to 6 months to get my animal and if by chance there was a disease in the animal and it had to be put down then how would you get reinembursed.
And the other Major factor is with the minority of keepers that get bored with their animals or find them to difficult to keep would simply release them as they do to dogs and cats look at every states RSPCA shelter they get overwhelmed by animals that are disgarded because of this minority of people that cant or wont look after an animal.

I have heard of a keeper in Qld that has released a few snakes (coastals) because he/she has lost interest in them
