Hey all, was at my local Calm speaking with the wildlif officer while he was feeding his snakes....He had a BHP, Woma, western Brown, King Brown, Kimberely Carpet (rare), Desert Death adder, Olive, Black Gwarder, and 7 ROUGH SCALE PYTHONS !!! (and a couple more) woohoo, got to touch one of the RSP's...
anyways, he informed me that the reason that Calm WA have put the ban on importation of Pythons only to WA from other states, is not for reasons of IBD and opmv (spellin?) but it is actually becuase the herp keeping is relatively new in WA and they "dont wanna open it up too quickly"....

Thanks..

hahaha, dont worry mate, i will do...he said they dont generally bite,... he has a brother and sister in the same enclosure and both went for the food so he had to separate them, after that she had a go at him ( the wildlife officer) a few times and almost got him...lol I touched her tho, it was cool...

So he's visiting Broome?
I'd be interested to know why he would make such a remark- considering that CALM are spouting IBD and OPMV as the reasons for not allowing the importation, he could get into trouble for saying things like that.
