The NT system is fantastic - animals aren't getting killed OR released into unsuitable habitat. The home owner doesn't have to pay and the snake catcher has an income. However this doesn't work everywhere - for instance, in Adelaide there's only so many Brown Snakes you can keep and sell to the public (yes I release catchers can do this in Adelaide).
It would work really well in areas where there are reptiles that have a significant price tag attached to them but here in SEQ, we're stuck with Carpet Pythons and Green Tree Snakes - not exactly the most "in demand" reptiles.
