Hi all
Living in Oenpelli I have a fascination with the Oenpelli Python. I have permision from local Aboriginal people to catch some. I have applied for a permit for a water python that was given to me buy the locals and was still rejected.
I am going to apply for a breeding permit ( for pet trade and conservation). After speaking to a ranger I was informed many people have tried and failed. The permit mob are very strict.
My chances are very slim of this being approved
Because of there size I will need to build an enclosure similar to a bird avery and an egg Incubator. Does anyone have plans for an incubator?
what do you think? would you buy one? how much do you expect to pay for one? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morelia_oenpelliensis http://www.nt.gov.au/nreta/wildlife/..._python_vu.pdf |

I think your jumping the gun a little bit worrying about a cage or incubator. Your chances are practically nill of getting approval to capture and breed these animals as a commercial venture. Like you say, plenty have tried and failed. What kind of track record do you have breeding pythons? Just because you can get permission to collect from the local land owners doesn't mean you can just go and round them up. |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Dec-06 Location: Syd | | | | I met some Columbians who said i could have all this white powder. I have their permission so i need to build up a distribution network. Ive approached the authorities but they wouldnt even allow me to sell the starry leafed plants the local farmer had given me. I'll need small private army and a fortress. What do you think.
but
If you can pull it off then get someone with a track record to help you.

Just because you can get permission to collect from the local land owners doesn't mean you can just go and round them up. | To clarify from your response
1. If approved I would build an enclosure not before, why waste time and money!
2. I would'nt just go and round them up because the locals said I could (you need permission from both)  .
3. A commercial venture like this could take years to establish
you assume too much! |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Nov-05 Location: sydney | | | | I would be interested to hear the NT authorities standpoint on oenopellis, considering they have a quite relaxed standpoint on wild taking of alot of their other herps, because as far as i am concerned, the poor record the Territory Wildlife Park has had with them vs. the sucess that Peter Krauss had, is more than enough reason to put a few more eggs into a few more baskets. |
