Many people say they have been approached by people on the street asking if they want corns or others. When i was 20 i went fruit picking near Shep and a yankee bloke just had his motorbike sent over on a ship in a container,he asked me if i wanted rattlesnake eggs Didnt know much about the processes and law at that time and just said no, should have reported him to police. |

Good to know his name though will not be buying snakes from his direction any time soon - better to be safe then sorry!! |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jun-07 Location: melbourne Age/Gender: 24 | | | | The person you are reffering to is a good friend of mine....I except that yes he did the wrong thing however this guy is the most decent person i know! What the papers wrote about him has made him out to be someone who was out for profit and a non carer of animals and the environment when in reality that is the opposite and couldn't be further from the truth!!! IMO papers are very one sided. He has a passion for animals that i have never seen in any other herper!!! He has a wildlife reserve/park that is not for profit!! he does talks with the public and helps any body in need. I will definitely continue to do business with, and ask for advice from him thats for sure! He is highly respected and too kind for his own good..Anybody who personally knows this man would agree 100% Why doesn't the DSE target those who truly deserve it!

You can't make one set of rules for the nice people in the world and another for the not so nice. Who decides who is nice and who is not?
I don't know the guy from a bar of soap but justice is justice. You do the crime and pay the fine.

He does deserve it and a lot more, and I hope they hound him for a long time to come.

I admire this man and it's offensive to hear people slandering someone when they don't know anything about him other than what was written in a dodgy "one sided" newspaper.

the only dodgy one is your mate who illegally imported and bred exotics. Personally I dont give a rats a-hole if he's a "nice" bloke or not .. I'll never buy from or sell to him .

He pleaded guitly to an offense and we are discussing the outcome of the hearing.
I'm sure he is a nice guy and hope he learns a valuable lesson. He can then continue being a nice guy, but this time a nice guy who does not break the law.
