Importation

[Tassie97]

Im going to try and put in a poll what are your thoughts on Tasmanians importing Australian pythons and reptiles

as Tasmania has no pythons and very few lizards that can be kept as pets please poll (if it works) and post what you think :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

 

[Tassie97]

sorry for spelling mistakes

 

[Tassie97]

i believe that selected reptiles should be aloud in as they wouldn't be able to survive a Tasmanian winter let alone breed so please post your view on this point

 

[Tassie97]

VOTE then leave a comment please

Im happy to answer questions

yeh, you tassie herpers should at least get a select few reptiles, i mean theres what, 500,000 people in the whole of tassie?
seriously, how many snakes do they expect to escape, plus the price will be extreme for a few years, so nobody will want to ditch them......

yeh, lol not my style either BUT its always an option......also there is a loophole there, it is illegal to sell native animals, now would this be native to tasmania, or does this include mainland as well

im just glad i never moved to tassie , what a hole [ reptile wise]

its better to make it leagle and let in animals that wont survie in tas than people smugling in turtles that will survive in the wild

yeh, that true, but you gotta think, what damage can 1 or 2 turtles do?? i mean, maybe if they somehow breed with tassie turtles BUT i doubt that

 

[Tassie97]

only native to tas reptiles and amphibians it is

 

[Tassie97]

well they were leagle about 5 years ago and a desise was brought in with them that was killing frogs thats why the gov is so anti-reptile

 

[Tassie97]

but i think if the reptiles are vet checked there aren't any probs even if they only let in males anything would be great

 

[JAS101]

[Tassie97]
