so basically we should let sick/neglected/injured/dirty reptiles to go about their business even if our intervention would help them immensly? I am also talking about finding reptiles and buying reptiles that are in these conditions.

You can keep sick and injured wildlife for up to 72 hours without being a wildlife carer, its usually in the best interest of the animal to get it to a carer as soon as possible though

Become aboriginal? are they allowed to catch snakes and keep them?

 

[Defective]

nope they catch em then eat them!

 

[Kimberleygirl]

keep em on the wild side

If you HAVE to interfere with wildlife ie: help an injured creature... then quickly and efficiently get it to a wildlife vet and they will hand it over to a trained wildlife carer (who will rehabilitate it, and release it)...
This is a hard task if it is a real beauty (a puggle/joey/lizard/bird etc)... but the wildies are not there for us to get a cute-fix

I realise it's been let go now and the point is basically moot but I have a friend who works for WIRES. He has told me before that they can be kept if they have been injured to a point where they would likely not survive in the wild. He asked me if I'd want any animals that he cared for that were deemed not releasable (if that wasn't a real word it is now). That decision has to be made by pros though. You can't just decide for yourself
