I have read in the forum here that after purchasing any reptile you must keep it in your collection for atleast 6 months. I was wondering the consequences if you didnt? I have never been given any information as such when my record books and species list was sent out.I ask because recently I have purchased and sold several pythons in few week intervals for friends (I purchased them while mates waited for there appropriate licences then sold species to them).

Hi John! You've been a busy poster, haven't you? Good to see the interesting questions and comments! :wink:

If you want to do it right, and reduce the risk of a slap on the wrist, I think the correct procedure is to contact National Parks & Wildlife and request a "special dispensation". Generally they're pretty understanding in the right circumstances.

The rule is in place, I believe, to reduce the possibility of someone trading in snakes simply for profit - that's a definite no-no.

By the way : when I checked your profile to find your location, I checked out your (is it yours?) web site. LOVE the enclosures. We will be speaking in the future, I suspect! :wink:
 
Yea Ive been going hectic posting in the forum.You can never have enough information on herping. The site is mine but is still under construction.At this point of time I am undecided whether to keep breeding several species or concentrate my efforts on just 1 or 2,so the site is going along real slowly at the moment.I am also hoping to trade in food items as well as the custom enclosures I make and snake relocation(depending on NPWS regulations).

With this said id like to point out that it is a hobby of mine with the interest in the reptile trade and not a business or career.I do it for the love of the hobby not financial benefits.
