Not the first time this individual has been in trouble with the authorities over reptiles either.Was only a couple of years ago he got done for smuggling greens into the country.

Disappointing about the natives being euthanaised.

It was more than a couple of years ago. Hard to believe that he has gotten this far into his latest venture given his track record.

there was shinglebacks out- busted cried a river

there was greens in- busted cried a river and copped a low fine- considering what he would of made from it - not exactly a deterrent

now this latest one- I would be quietly sh1tting myself if I had purchased animals from him in the last few years- they euthanized the natives due to exposure to the exotics and thus potential pathogen risk- if they go chasing who he sold animals too- they may well have animals euthanized as well.

He has an appeal in place at the moment re the sentence- and the reality is that since jail has not been on the cards before he probably has a chance of it being overturned. I wonder if they dangle a canary carrot........

All done off licence no doubt, those that may have purchased obviously knew the risks.

A canary carrot.... ?

deserves much longer than 4 months IMO, and several hefty fines as well.
