Probably a scam, two different animals pictured, only one snake for sale. I bet if you look hard enough you'll probably find those pics elsewhere on the internet. Either that or it's a G-Up.

 

[Kirby]

the two animals look the same to me.. same patterning..

i enquired.. lol.

 

[funcouple]

their ilegal in all of australia as far as i know. i saw an ad last week on petlink and the advertiser was in sydney, so i think you will find its another petlink scam

 

[dixilizards]

Exotic Animals can be kept with the appropriate permits, as the ad states "comes with permits", it may well just be someone that can no longer house the animal and is looking for a good home for it.

Animal Attraction would not put their names and business on the line for a single ad.

wish they were legal i would have 10 lol

 

[Ned_fisch]

I don't really like the Albino Balls, they just look like mini Albino Burmese.

 

[fraser888]

He is saying he will sell the permit with it? Thats sounds too dodgy for me!

 

[LullabyLizard]

Yeah I'm pretty sure zoos can but not the rest of us!! Its illegal. Just cause it says comes with permit does not mean jack

Same here!! I love those things :|

Maybe in a different colour though...

 

[dixilizards]

Anyone can get a permit for these animals if they can complete the necessary documents and afford the permits, the $500 snake advertised will cost far more than that once you count in permits.

Queensland maybe different but in victoria it is quite possibly and does occur, numerous people around the state keep exotic animals.

Right or wrong, exotics have been in Australia for longer than most of us have been alive.

Its ilegal full stop!! other wise there would be a permit system in place like there is for natives!!

[junglepython2]

Just because you can apply for a permit doesn't mean it will be accepted, no matter how much money you have. You can also apply for a permit to import elephants.
