'i reckon they should all be collected and put in zoos'

Mmm, there's an idea, I wonder if they have thought of that ?

Seems to be a fair bit of false information in this article, seeing as larger snakes are worth more for their ability to reproduce.

I get offers of free corns every now and then - i turn them down of course, too much trouble. They are beautiful and its a shame they are a pest and culled if taken by authorities. I wish they never came to australia, as now there either unlicenced or illegal or being destroyed. I think its sad.

Methinks either the DSE spokesperson is not fully versed in the reptile trade, or the journo is using some license in his reporting

LOL!
