|  | slimin about! Subscriber | Join Date: Aug-06 Location: Cairns | | | | I remember in the 90s Auckland central was nearly shut down because they found a 'snake skin' near the wharf. Turned out it was part of a fancy dress costume. Though it was a real snake skin, there was never a snake to be found.
NZ has had its fair share of bio-security scares from scorpians through to toads. But a snake would absolutely devastate the bird life if it could adapt to the climatic conditions.
But a sea snake - pfffft.... just another thing to catch in the ocean! |

theres been quite a few in auckland, ones being kept in an aquarium there
and they occasionaly are found up north around the corriamndel apparently
Also there was a scare not too long ago when a cobra head was found in Hawkes Bay!
I hear all the stories about exotic species of snakes here, mainly the corns, and i think its probly only a matter of time in nz, if they can get them into Aus, they could easily get them into NZ |
