Aslan - I have to agree - could not put it any better!!
Yes Asian gets my vote. I was thinking of buying the new Pythons of the World book until I found out it was about Ball Pythons.
Yeah I saw that book too, and was a little surprised. I mean yeah sure, maybe its just for 'educational' purposes, but why sell it at an expo where it will be exposed to SO many people that may only just be getting into snakes and herps as a hobby? These people would probably have no idea that corn snakes are illegal. Leave it on the shelf in a pet or book store for people to find it if they want it. I dont think they should have had it on display at a native animal expo.
theres only one thing holding the hobby in australia back and thats small minds ...dont blame the goverment...
thanks ...i think??Love it.
Thats signature material there.
These are some of the most ludicrous posts I have ever heard...
*sigh*
The fact of the matter is:
Like it or not – much of modern snake husbandry was developed on non-Australian snakes. And if you want to leverage all the global knowledge – you will need to read about what others have found to work on non-Australian snakes.
- Herp keeping in the US is much more developed than in Australia
- The US market is much bigger than Australia’s
- Australian restrictions is making it hard for people to go into owning or breeding snakes
- The basic requirements for corn snakes can be applied to other snakes – for example – heat, hide, substrate and guards around heating items.
Buying a book on keeping corn sakes will help a keeper better understand some requirements of their pet pythons. The Australian market is too small for a large range of books to be written on Australian snakes for the Australian market. If restrictions on keeping snakes were relaxed and a greater percent of the population kept them as pets things might change.
Colors – Currently corn snakes have some very stunning colors – but if you breed and work on your local snakes – you too will have some stunning snake patterns and colors. As I pointed out before Australian snake keeping is still in its infancy compared to here in the US.
In relationship to Herp products – most Australian herp products (A small range) are mainly imported from the US and are still sold with the US packaging. Changing the packaging will increase the cost of keeping your pet snake.
