Is it right to disallow pythons into WA based on risk of IBD/OPMV.
Yes. We are seeing both IBD and OPMV in wild snakes in QLD. Did it come from captive snakes. I don't know. Nobody Knows. But do we want to risk our perthensis, wa woma or black headed population in the wild. I think not.

I have asked them about reptile mite being a problem on other import reptiles that might be sent there that might be carrying this disease. Guess what I did not get a reply.
You will like this one CALM just sent letters out to reptile dealer over there telling them, if any reptiles are hatched/born under a Dealers permit that the dealer has to Euthanase the reptile or give them to someone with a farmers permit. Good to see that they are trying hard to look after native reptiles over there. What a Joke!
