TIME is running out for NSW authorities to find 23 reptiles stolen over the weekend, with keepers warning they will die without specialised care.

People frustrate me :( hope the reptiles are being taken care of. Though they probably aren't :(
 
half of them are probably already dead or sold. Who knows. :(
 
It is sad that they need to part with/offer that money for the return of the reps when it could be better spent on caring for the animals or invested in their other projects( not saying not to try and get them back). Then again the whole situation sux.
 
Most would already be sold to people who know how to look after them.
 
Disgusting act by brainless, gutless idiots. Hope they are found safe n sound.
 
It is a real shame, I really feel sorry for the staff at the reptile park. I also feel sorry for the herps that were stolen
Very gutless act and heard it most likely is an inside job which is even more gutless.

Hope they are safely returned however doubt they would still be just lying around :(
 
Almost sounds like an inside job, or inside influenced. But with all due respect, if you keep exotic animals of high value and rarity, and are open to the public, shouldn't security rival that of a major bank or building of national security?

I completely agree with you re the security. Taking a guess though I would say that they would be working with a finite budget and if it means feeding animals, keeping correct husbandry practices up maintaining correct ohs etc etc etc security might be lower on the list. Its a damn shame the whole thing.
 
it's a bad situation all round,now not only do they have to try and replace the missing reptiles and repair all the damage done by these low-lifes they are going to have beef up security all while they are running on very little money:(
Does anyone know if they are going to ask for donations to help?
 
Sorry to hear it has come to the point of offering a cash reward when as previously mentioned this money would be better spent within the park. I hope they catch the scumbags that did it.
 
If you have a spare exotic reptile in your possession I'm sure they will take it off your hands to put on exhibit
 
They should put the reward for higher than the value they say they are if they care so much about them.
 
What about publishing a list of what was taken so we know what to look out for, I get offered exotics regularly pythons and venomous so if I was offered what was taken without a list I wouldn't know. I don't keep exotics before anyone asks just know a lotta peeps in the hobby
 
the amount of animals on display is only a small proportion of what any reptile park or zoo has...i doubt they would need to buy new reptiles they would just display something else...
 
The reward is being offer so they can prosecute those responsible, if someone knew something about who did it im sure they would point the finger for $10k. I dont think they are just gonna accept someone bringing them back and handing them $10k and being ok about what has happened.
