I'm a little intrigued how did you know exactly what it was? Maybe I just don't know my snakes well enough but I'd never have picked that it was a corn snake without being told
Well will you look @ what they found ?

I know i'll get shot for this but a) He's just a kid he's not gunna try and breed it its probably better in his hands than in the wild killing native animals and b) is it this animals fault some irresponsible person has done the wrong thing and is most likeley going to be destroyed. i'm sure majority of people on this site have kept something as a pet when they where kids that probably wasn't legal or allowed. to be honest i see no problem with letting this little kid gain experience and a new fascination with these beautiful animals.i for one don't see a problem with it if he looks after it and ensures it can't escape again. better off looked after then destroyed in my opinion. At the end of the day it's up to the kids parents as to what they do i'd let them know the risks and forget you ever saw it.

the law is the law , its illegal - if the kid wants to experience and a new fascination with these beautiful animals then why not do it with a native one and not an exotic .

I don't see the point of this thread at all... Zeezza seems to already know the rules yet has posted this thread.. Why?..
Also I don't believe there's a little boy from down the street. Sounds a lot like "A friend of a friend of mine"....a bit cliche.

Even if it were a native species he wouldn't be allowed to keep it because it was taken from the wild.

Or at least feed it to something.

Oh I'm sorry Zeezza, what would you like me to say?
Want me to also tell you it is illegal?..
Everyone has been telling you it's illegal, YOU know it's illegal and every time you get a response you seem to add another silly question.
If you did purchase this snake then you do what you want with it, and if it was truly found by "the boy from down the road" then really why do you care? Just tell his parents it's illegal and leave it in their hands.
You asking so many questions regarding this is what also makes me think the boy is imaginary and a cover-up...

when it comes to idiots accusing me of doing something wrong/illegal when Im trying to work out whats best for everyone involved ! yah !
I mean I love animals and to have held this snake and seen this little boys excitment puts me in a totally different situation to being on the other end of your keyboard reading the thread & telling me to kill it ! Or that 'you believe" I bought it !
This site is shocking for people needing an ego boost and getting it from trying to out smart others or put someone else down any chance they get .....
Depending on your relationship with the boy and his family i would explain to both him and his parents the situation and the potential consequences of being caught with it. If you like then and they decide to keep then i see no reason to dob them in, you have gave them the information and that have made an informed decision. If you dont like them and they wont give it up call the authorities. As some have said its really going to do no harm in that kids possession, they are quite commonly found wild in the sydney area so 1 being kept by a young boy isnt going to be a major ecological problem

I told his parents its illegal , was the first thing I did. I dont really care unless it gets out and can hurt my pythons somehow , which no-one has answered . I was interested in more information. But hay if you dont know everything , spose you do.

I don't see how it could hurt your snakes in any way unless you put them together...

Instead of yelling at people on a forum for not spoon feeding you information
just Google why exotic animals pose a threat.
Hopefully you at least washed you hands after holding the random snake.

The only way it could harm your snakes would be if you had them in together and it attacked them or passed on pests or diseases or if you did not wash your hands or any part of your body where it came in contact with you thoroughly, that is also a great way to spread disease
Jas101,
You've never once in your life broken a law or neglected to obey one? I wish i was as pure as you. I guess at the end of the day they're gunna do what they want. IMO what are the chances an albino is gunna make it in the wild even if it did escape would probably get picked up by a cat dog or some narrow minded human anyway.

Of course he would have broken a law, doesnt mean he cant tell other people to do the right thing
