Wheeleri

Hi all,
i recently read a thread about the legalities of keeping N.Wheeleri. I was interested to see what QLD Parks opinion on this matter was. Today i was granted permision to import N.Wheeleri from another State in Australia and keep them on a recreational licence provided they came to me from another licenced keeper. So for the Queenslanders if you can find them (and afford them) away you go. I wished i could lol. i also to a spoke to an American breeder who sells his Wheeleri for $500 US ironic isn't it.

skye as there not available for sale,so rarity of them makes them rather expensive,eg green tree pythons and rough scales,high demand sees them at high prices,when lots are bred and demand for them goes down,so do there prices

Yes but that is the standard answer for any species - In QLD we can import ANY species (excepting crocs and sea snakes) into QLD as long as it is legally obtained. There was never a question of them being able to be legally kept in QLD, just whom they could be legally obtained from.
