are these compliant to the new AAE rules for snakes over 60cm?
 
are these compliant to the new AAE rules for snakes over 60cm?

as far as i know after my last visit to them a snake over 60cm has to be bagged and put in a wooden box with a minimum 3mm thickness

but if that not right let me know what the new rules are
 
as of two or three weeks ago, I was informed by the stamp licker when I was sending a hatchling olive in a money bag placed inside a plastic Tuppaware ventilated container to NSW from Melbourne that the new rules said I had to have the non venomous snake in a bag, placed inside a wooden box, I asked to see a copy of these rules, and it clearly stated that all non venomous snakes under 60cm can be placed in a breathable bag and put into a clear plastic container with crumbled paper (which it was), and that all non venomous snakes 60cm and over and all lizards are to be placed in a container within a wooden crate, there was nothing about the 3mm thickness then.
 
So all snakes now over 60cm have to be in a wooden box?
What about a white polystirine box?
 
Robbo, where in Vic are you, I am interested in a couple if you are not too far away
 
The choices for a wooden box are either:

Water resistant hardboard
Water resistant fibreboard
Minimum 3 ply plywood

This is info I received just recently when enquring about freight. From what I can see of the pic above that looks like 3 ply? They look pretty good :D
 
i also have a smaller version to

150mm wide x 155mm wide x 140mm high and weighs 380 grams

these cost $8 and are made the same way as the larger one
