hmmm,
good in one way bad in another. the reptiles r the ones that will suffer. locale breeders should have been allowed to advertise at pet shops and even have their own stock on display and buyers get their numbers off shop keepers. i will dreed the day i walk in and see a dead reptile in a tank, or lizards with heat rocks and no UV. but there are some great reptile specialist shops like the one at liverpool and narellan who should be able to sell.
i recko they should only allow reptile shops to sell reptiles not petshops, who have no interest or passion or experienced staff.
though over the past few years i have taken in 19 unwanted reptiles, ranging from bearded dragons, blue tonges, geckos, turtles and many pythons. with pet shops selling to impulse buys there will be alot more free to good home reptiles and reptiles dumped.
but at least wen stuck up people realise reptiles are legal to own as they walk past a pet shop, drivers by will stop calling the cops saying there is a lady handling a massive snake on her front lawn, or some guy is feeding a snake on his front lawn.
