Kevyn, seriously mate, how do you deal with handling the retic and burmese? Are either really big? I think the "keeper/pet" thing would change radically as they got really big, to brave potential prey/pet status. Are you ever overpowered or intimidated by either? fess up please, honestly intrested.

NO high horse here and YES Misinformed. If you researched a little harder you would find that there is still someone here who has bred SINCE the amnesty and where do you think the off-spring go????????? So get off your High Donkey and maybe you might realise that although you may know a great deal you do not know everything. ****You know who this is to****

Perhaps if you looked into it a bit more you will see that ALL exotic animals held LEGALLY on licence can not be
A/ Sold B/ Traded or C/ Bred
This was done to stop new people getting them and allowing the ones already in captivity to slowly thin out. Anything that had been bred since then by anyone other than a ZOO or other licence holding person/s are breaking the law of the 1997 amnstey and must have dumped them into the black market.
So unless this person had justifiable cause i.e The appropriate licence (To my knowledge, the only people capable of soing this are a Zoo) I can't see it legally happening, thats not to say that it has not been bred....

I have never claimed to know everything but these things I do know...
a) Legally held exotics are not allowed to be bred. It is a condition of the license.
b) You can not legally buy a Burmese python in Australia (Which I believe is what the original question was)
c) A velocipede is an old form of bicycle.

| No they don't ever intimidate me. Once they're a certain length, I don't handle them by myself. It's kind of like working with hots, there's a way of working them inorder to stay safe. I have to have a bottle of vinegar very handy, and I don't handle any thing that smells like prey before handling them. Also I've learned to recognize what a feed response looks like. Yes it can be dangerous, but I love the giants. They are my favourites.

Owning huge snakes like that is a compensatory thing. It's the same as the bloke who goes out and buys a Ferrari or a Jag. It's to make up for some, shall we say, 'shortcomings'?
Oh and before anyone jumps up and down about what I just said, here's a smiley face that makes it all ok. :wink:
Greg.

Perhaps it's because I'm feeling alittle sensitive at the moment (not sure exactly), but sorry really not funny.

Greg. | That's a bit of a rash generalisation, don't you think Greg? Surely you aren't saying that ALL people with big snakes fit into that category???  ..and there's a little smiley, to show you that I'm not being nasty either!

Me rashly generalise a comment Dave? Never.
You don't have any super huge snakes Dave, so you don't have a thing to worry about. (Unless you're hiding a Retic somewhere and haven't told us)
Greg.
oops, nearly forgot.
