imported reptiles

[taylor111]

is it possible to get a special permit that enabels you to import reptiles from over seas like boas and ball pythons

 

[Miss B]

Nope.

 

[taylor111]

how do zoos get them then?

 

[aussie1]

I think you need a zoo licence.

And from what i have heard they are not easy to get.

 

[cracksinthepitch]

Alot of zoos have confiscated illegal stock that has been properly Quarantined. I may be wrong but cant they only import for special breeding bloodline purposes. A common snake overseas wouldnt hold much value for a zoo to breed etc.

Here is a link to some basic information regarding importing reptiles. As has been stated above, reptiles imported as pets are not permitted, but certain scientific institutions (including zoos) may have access to exotic reptiles from overseas.

Its not as simple as that, do a little research.
Search the internet, you will learn alot more that way then just asking someone to tell you, get the basic facts then come back and ask whatever questions you still have after reading all you could find!

Gotta love the school holidays :lol:

 

[Danny.Boy]

so is it possible to own any sort of boa in Australia? im guessing not from what i've taken in over time.

 

[=bECS=]

In short........... on a basic licence NO!
There are people out there who have them, same with corns, but its illegal without a scientific research or zoo licence.

 

[Danny.Boy]

this is one of the few reasons i sometimes hate Australian Law...

seriously who classes paintball guns under the exact same categories as firearms and makes you buy a genuine firearm safe in order to have one? if we were anywhere else we could walk down to walmart and buy one.

sometimes the people that write these laws need to pull the damn stick out and lighten the **** up.. it's a snake for heavens sake.. yeah sure do what you gotta do, have the snake quarinteened for a while to make sure we're not bringing anything in, but don't take are fun and love for reptiles away.

Hope u have your flame suit on danny!
The whole reason they are not allowed is to protect our native reptiles.
Perhaps do some research on the subject, then come back and comment

If everyone was always handed everything they wanted, they would never learn to do anything for themselves!
Try to encourage people to find information for themselves first, then ask others when they get stuck, otherwise we will end up with generations of lazy minded people, expecting everything to fall into their lap!

You want me to point them into the right direction? ok then.......

Top of the screen, below sponsors advertisements, 5th menu across.
Can you see it?
It says 'search'
Click on the arrow next to where it says 'search'
Now type in the top search section, 'exotic snakes in australia'

Also for future reference, the section below it is for searching pictures etc, so instead of making a 'show us your .....' thread try taking a look in there first too

Happy now python pit??

I personally dont agree with the import laws in this country.

As you cant have anything thats not Australian in this country but you can basically everywhere else in the world it simply encourages people to go to national parks or forests and take australian wildlife for free.

Why would someone waste there time going to take a bearded dragon from the wild if they could go and buy a boa?

See my point.

 

[thepythonpit]

No I dont. For starters, why would someone that really wanted a Boa, go and unlawfully take a Bearded Dragon :?.

Also, there is nothing encouraging anyone to steal native reptiles or animals from the wild.

Hahahahahahaha
Oh yes, you got me, back to school soon
LOOK I CAN TYPE IN CAPS TOO
Obviously nothing i said sunk in with you, im not scaring anyone off, i am encouraging them to learn more, by learning to find information for themselves first.

As for my signature, thanks for looking, but i cant see anything wrong with it, it was posted on the forums afterall.

Stop and take a look at your own attitude, and dont assume you know everything, it only makes a fool of you!
You come across as a snotty little know it all twit, i believe you posted somewhere earlier today to 'build a bridge and get over it', well dont go on being a hypocrite now will you.

As for you attitude, i need to say nothing, its quite clear you have anger issues, you seem to like going around looking for forum fights!
