Whats the laws on breeding in QLD ?? Ive seen jungle x diamond for sale and wonder if its possible to breed them in QLD ???
In Queensland, all native birds, reptiles, mammals (except the dingo), and amphibians are protected animals under the Nature Conservation Act 1992. A number of native spiders, scorpions, butterflies and freshwater fish
are also protected. The grey nurse shark (Carcharias taurus) is also protected.
92 Restriction on breeding etc. hybrids of protected animals
(1) A person must not—
(a) knowingly breed a hybrid or mutation of a protected
animal; or
(b) abandon a hybrid or mutation of a protected animal in
the wild;
other than under a regulation or exemption under a regulation.
Maximum penalty—165 penalty units.
(2) A person must not release a hybrid or mutation of a protected
animal into the wild other than under a conservation plan for
the protected animal.[s 93]
Maximum penalty—165 penalty units or 1 year’s
imprisonment.
So if it's illegal to breed hybrids/jags/rpms, whichever one. Why is it legal for breeders or pet shops to sell them? Or is it state dependent?
A jag isn't a cross breed or a hybrid so no
If it isnt a cross breed then how come people are selling 50% jungle 50% MD Jags? And how come there are alot of well known breeders in queensland ( not going to name names ) That cross breed and sell them as jags and get away with it.?
Sub-species level crosses, not species level crosses. Like breeding a horse to a Przewalski's horse vs horse to donkey breeding.
so if thats the case whats an albino darwin , i thought those where a genetic mutation/morph so by that legislation in qld your not even allowed to breed albino darwins? just curious as it mentions mutations , is mutation the same as morphStraight from the relevant legislation to save you the legwork and effort of finding it yourself:
The short answer, having interpreted all the information above - NO, not legally.
If it isnt a cross breed then how come people are selling 50% jungle 50% MD Jags? And how come there are alot of well known breeders in queensland ( not going to name names ) That cross breed and sell them as jags and get away with it.?
I think you'd be hard pressed to find a purebred jag tbh. I don't believe for a second the so called "rpm" snakes are pure (america has pure jags now?).
