The problems facing GTP's

[Greenmad]

Hi everyone i would like to share a article that was written by two australians that have been researching GTPs here and overseas.
They have seen first hand what is happening with the amount of illegal trade overseas with these beautiful animals and wanted to share these pictures and there article.

The pictures below are all wild animals that are in a bad way due to importers.

It's beyond belief. I just can't imagine having so little respect for another animal. Poor snakes.

Its terrable how far people will go to make a quick cash. Who and why would want to get animals this way, they dont look ilke they will last too long, its unfortunate theres scum out there that do this.

Where do most of these gtp's end up? Europe, aus, or USA, etc?

Everywhere, they end up in snake farms overseas and sold off as farm bred.

So is that a legal trade to the U.S or europe. Or are they smuggled?

I'm not sure why people even bother with WC animals with the number of CB available. I wouldn't touch a WC Chondro to be honest unless it was imported by a reputable importer.

I think the only country with restrictions (that im aware off) is AUS. Otherwise they're common in USA, UK etc. even AUS protected species like Womas...

I saw condros x carpets in USA and guy was talking about starting condros x balls...

If there's demand, there as to be a supplier and I believe that's the problem!

Absolutely terrible what they do to these amazing animals. We can't stress enough, do not buy WC animals.
