Its been going to happen for years. I remember reading a draft about 12 years ago and responding on behalf of SMWS. Its never been canned, as you say, just never progressed. It will eventually happen... oneday

 

[JasonL]

yeah, and 12 years ago it was "about to happen" too lol

 

[dragonlover1]

if the boofocrats have their way it will NEVER happen

[reptilezac]

[Danieljohn96]

So has it happened yet?

I noticed a few changes to the pet shops around ehre too, they are getting more herp stuff in, this is interesting/exciting and highly nerve racking/worrying. I just hope they do a good job policing the regulations for herps.

 

[jacks-pythons]

No it hasnt happened yet but i was asked today if i was willing to go on tv to talk about the positives and negatives of the event of this happening. i think there should be a husbandry and handling course for new reptile owners if this is the case. not sure if ill do it or not as there are alot of opinions out there and i dont want to be branded for saying something some wont agree with.

 

[FAY]

Husbandry and handling courses for the staff in the pet shops more like it.

 

[jacks-pythons]

well as far as i know its already going to be a requirement that people working in the pet shops who will be given licenses will need to have done it and have an extensive knowledge on animals for sale

jacks-pythons,
Can I ask in what capacity were you asked to give an interview regarding sales of reptiles in pet shops?

Thanks.

Well I spoke to the owner of my local pet shop. She not only owns the business but is a part time qualified vet...so I do have a lot of respect for her ethics & the high conditions she maintains her animals.

Anyway I asked about the recent gossip of reptiles in NSW pet shops & she just rolled her eyes & said, "Is that rumour going around again?"

 

[RSPcrazy]

I spoke with "kellyville pets" the other week and asked if it had been approved yet?
I was told it got close, but it was rejected and it would be another 6 months or so before they might consider it again.
