Hey guys, I was wondering if ball pythons are still illegal in western Australia (Geraldton 4 hours from perth) I did a bit of research if they were or not and only found old records of them being illegal i was just wondering have the laws changed?

Do a search through anything on this forum or anywhere else. Exotics are illegal full stop. WA is the strictest on any keepers, and we can't even keep all WA endemic species, let alone Australian.
You can find a list of available reptiles on the DEC website.

Hey Tassie97,
Sorry i forgot about you guys. I will admit that our system is better then yours.
It still sucks though. My brother is in Tassie, though he is scared ****eless of any reptiles.
At least you guys can see some nice tigers.

Easiest answer is no.
Look through this list. Find a frog, google it, decide if you like it.
People that keep exotics just makes it harder for the rest of us that are doing the right thing, and makes even more likely that our list won't get expanded.

How on earth would you desex a snake ?

Removal of the ovaries and oviduct will sterilize a snake. This still is a difficult situation though as the snake would need to be desexed before sale (in order to regulate the restrictions) and it seems that removal of the oviducts alone will not sterilize the patient and it will also leave them susceptible to egg binding so there is a margin for error.
It's a veterinary procedure Darlyn, which is necessary to perform in some cases in order to treat certain conditions. It's not always just to stop the animal from reproducing.
What I mean to say is that it may make you feel yucky but do understand it should be a medical procedure, not for your average Joe to do down in the back shed. no cruelty should be involved

Umm... I wasn't reffering to a medical procedure I was inferring that some breeders can
certainly "desex animals" that will ensure no sold "special" animals will reproduce.
I know that some people do (or at least know how to) but they shouldn't. I definitely dont agree with breeders desexing their pets, I'm pretty sure it's illegal - if you get caught of course. Sorry I was a little mentally challenged this morning and my post was a little hazy, in a round about way I mean to say that it should be kept as a medical procedure and that way it ensures no cruelty will be inflicted. My apologies for the lack of clarity.
Would be interesting to look at the legality of it. I would be suprised if there is anything about
it under the guidelines. I must admit I was a bit shocked when I was told what they do to the animals and
it's used to stop new morphs breeding after being sold. It is a non intrusive thing they do so doesn't involve
anything that outwardly effects the animal ie pain ect.
Still sux tho
