The Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water (DECCW) is offering a reptile for disposal through a ballot. The following species has been identified for the Department and is advertised as:
1 Eastern Carpet Python (Morelia spilota mcdowelli) approximately 2.5 metres in length
Every effort has been made to correctly identify this animal. The Department cannot guarantee the identification of an animal offered though the ballot system.
The animal has been seized during recent law enforcement investigations. The animal may have been caught in the wild and its original capture location is unknown. The return of this animal to the wild is not a responsible conservation option.
The Department recommends that a veterinarian checks all animals received through the ballot system and a reptile hygiene protocol be followed.
If you wish to be included in the ballot you must register your interest by 9.00 AM Monday 13th December 2010. Registrations received after this time will not be accepted. You can register your interest by either a faxed message to 02 9585 6401 or an emailed message to [email protected]
