Because people that kept them didn't want them anymore and released them into the wild.

re corn

Dont know of any one catching corn snakes around hawkesbury,more concerned with exotics like coastal carpets.

I heard there was a little population of cornies in the Belrose area of Sydney.

i have heard rumors bout them in the hunter but didnt notice it in any paper. do you have a link to the article?
the next will be the veiled chameleon, followed by the red tail boa!! (or the other way around)
i guy i spoke to the other day actually works for npws and he tole me 'npws and the liscencing system is a joke and that they really dont care!!' i reckon we have known that for a long time but its sad to be hearing it from an employer of npws!
