On http://www.ehp.qld.gov.au/register/p01386aa.pdf it says the following:
"Can I breed protected animals?
Yes, if you are the holder of an appropriate licence you are entitled to breed those species listed under
Schedule 3 of the Nature Conservation (Wildlife) Regulation 2006.
However, it is illegal to knowingly breed a mutation or hybrid of a protected animal, although there are some
specific exemptions that apply to the holder of a commercial wildlife licence or recreational wildlife licence for
live protected birds."

So if it's illegal to breed hybrids, why do I see so many coastal x diamonds etc. around? And what are the "specific exemptions"?
Sorry if this has already been asked before, I went through the forum and couldn't find it.
 
a diamond x coastal isnt a hybrid,coastals/diamonds/jungles are pretty much the same species they all part of the morelia spilota complex only differences are the colours/patterns and locations they are found
although if a diamond is bred to a centralian carpet it is a hybrid correct me if im wrong
 
This story was in the newspaper last year
