Police and Department of Primary Industries have seized a number of exotic and native reptiles during the search of a home in Dapto, near Wollongong yesterday.

About 4pm (Wednesday 11 December 2013), police and officers from the Department of Primary Industries conducted a search at a home on Bingara Avenue and allegedly found a number of exotic and native animals.

They found and seized the following exotic animals:

- 1 x 18-inch Alligator

- 1x Veiled Chameleons

- 2 x Columbian Red Tail Boa Constrictors

- 2 x Slider turtles

- 3 x Corn snakes.

They also allegedly found and seized the following native animals:

- 2 x Bearded Dragons

- 1 x Netted Dragon

- 2 x Ridge Tailed Monitors

- 1 x Lace Monitor

- 1 x Darwin Carpet Snake

- 8 x Geckos (mixture of native & exotic species)

A 24-year-old man was spoken to by investigators and released without charging pending further inquiries. All reptiles were in good condition and not under threat.
 
I am not suprised at all. Dapto is a dump.
 
were the gators and veiled chameleons the ones that were stolen from the aus reptile park?
 
I know of some seized exotics ended up in the rockhampton zoo, seems like a far better place to put them than euthanised.
