Hi,
As I explained on another thread, I am keen to purchase some albino or hets darwins but wasn't sure of the law and how it stood in Queensland. No one was much help so I contacted the environmental protection agency and asked was it legal to buy/keep/sell albino's in QLD, as the code it stated that one couldn't knowlingly breed mutations/hybrids. But it didn't explain if you could keep them! (in the act it states that you cannot even keep sub species together in the same cage)
I explained that I wanted some hets/albino carpets not hybrids. (I detest hybrids and their breeders)
They asked was the animals coming from interstate. I said yes and they said they would phone me back.
When they did they said that they (the epa) had a meeting about albino /mutations last week in Brisbane and were very concerned but said yes, if I got them from interstate, I could keep them but could not breed/sell them, which at this stage is still unlawful.
I dont want them just to make money but would like to breed and sell a few babies if I wish.
Has anybody bought any albino's from anyone in QLD and if so were there any problems?
I am getting the same in writting from the epa and will post their letter.
BYW,This only applies to QLD
Cheers
Bwana
