The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) is offering a number of reptiles and an amphibian for disposal through a ballot. The following species have been identified for the Department and are advertised as:
2 Centralian Carpet Pythons (Morelia spilota bredli) approx 1.5 and 1m in length
1 x Peron’s Tree Frog (Litoria peronii)
Every effort has been made to correctly identify these animals. The Department cannot guarantee the identification of an animal offered though the ballot system.
These animals have been seized during recent law enforcement investigations. Some of these animals may have been caught in the wild and their original capture locations are unknown. The return of these animals to the wild is not a responsible conservation option.
The Department recommends that a veterinarian checks all animals received through the ballot system and An animal hygiene protocol be followed.
