I lived in QLD for 5 years, loved it, heaps of snakes, just wondering about QLD laws concerning taking specimens from the wild. As far as I am aware you can not take and keep wild caught reptiles in VIC but in QLD you can. The QLD NATURE CONSERVATION ACT 1992 document that I obtained while there states this.. Is this true and does anyone out there do this. My understanding is that you can as long as you dont sell any of the aquired specimens or their offspring and return any offsping to the wild. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
