I don't think that bloke who shall not be named (from Victoria - ex head of the HS there) lost his collection for importing a large number of GTP's. And these are only corn snakes. The law is gutless when it come to punishing the illegal possession of foreign animals.
tht is because tht is drugs.. i am tlking about our ecosystem.. us here in aussie are so very lucky to be free of major diseases and ppl tht bring introduced species are crazy and can do major harm to our environment and it nature.. how do u think the 'mite' got to aussie?who cares if there illegal, 30k is abit much for a penalty. You don't get that fine for dealing illicit drugs. Cats are more harmful anyway,,they should be illegal.

JasonL – I do agree there are lots of corn snakes in Australia – but thousands? You make it sound like there are more illegal corn snakes than licensed Australian snakes. I doubt corn snakes (Or even the evil red eared sliders) would make major inroads into the Australian bush – reason: there are established predators to keep their numbers down.
If this is the case the Australian Authorities should seriously consider the laws and think about removing the licensing requirement for more Native animals. Remove the red tape will make it as easy as possible to be legal. That way people will not look at illegal corn snakes as an easier pet (No license required – not records required – it is just another pet like picking up a kitten from the girl down the road.
