COFFS HARBOUR REPTILE BALLOT


The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) is offering a number of reptiles for disposal through a ballot. The reptiles will be available for collection from the Department’s Coffs Harbour office.

The following species have been identified for the Department and are advertised as:

2 Centralian Carpet Pythons (Morelia bredli)
2 Black-headed Pythons (Aspidites melanocephalus)
2 Woma Pythons (Aspidites ramsayi)
7 Jungle Pythons (Morelia spilota cheyni)
2 Eastern Carpet Pythons (Morelia spilota mcdowelli)

Every effort has been made to correctly identify these animals. The Department cannot guarantee the identification of an animal offered though the ballot system.

These animals have been seized during recent law enforcement investigations.

The Department recommends that a veterinarian check all animals received through the ballot system and a reptile hygiene protocol be followed.

If you wish to be included in the ballot you must register your interest by 9.00 AM Thursday 4th March 2010. Registrations received after this time will not be accepted. You can register your interest by either a faxed message to 02 9585 6401 or an emailed message to [email protected]

Phone inquiries will not be accepted.

Your registration must include the following:

1. the words DECCW BALLOT in the title of your fax or email
2. your full name
3. your address
4. a prioritised list of the animals you would like to register for
5. your current NSW Animal Keepers’ Licence number authorising the possession of the animals you have registered for
6. your contact number between 2.45PM and 3:15PM on Thursday 4th March 2010
7. NOTE: only one individual animal per licensee can be provided

Any registrations that do not include all of the above will be excluded from the ballot. Licences will be checked before the ballot. Expired licences or licensees whose fauna record books we have not received for 2009 will also be excluded from the ballot.


NB: If you are successful in the ballot you must be available to collect the animal from the Department’s Coffs Harbour office between 1.00PM and 2.00PM on Friday 5th March 2010. If you intend to have someone collect your animal from our Coffs Harbour office on your behalf they must have permission from you IN WRITING. Verbal permission will not be accepted.

If you are successful:

1. you will be notified by phone between 2.45PM and 3.15PM on Thursday 4th March 2010;
2. you must collect the animal from the Department’s Coffs Harbour office between 1.00PM and 2.00PM on Friday 5th March 2010. If you are unable to collect your animal during this time it will be forfeited to the next available person; and
3. you must bring a hard-shelled lockable container to transport your animal.
4. the address of the Coffs Harbour office is 32 Marina Drive, Coffs Harbour

You have to pick them up with DECCW ballot - usually within a very narrow time frame. When I got my MD, I brought a big pillowcase and a large click-clack. They didn't give me a container. The Sydney crowd thought he was a bit snappy, but he has always been great for me. Maybe they had been handling rodents/birds....
