International Reptiles

[rustypython]

Has anyone here ever been successful in keeping an international snake? Been doing some research and havent gotten to far with all the government crap and regulations. Looking to import a reticulated python, but looks like you may need to be registered as a zoo, or for "scientific" purposes. Any input be great thanks!!!

hmm there has to be a way, in QLD i have a rabbit, but only because I have restricted permit for the sucker as a magician

 

[rustypython]

Aussies snakes are good, got a good collection and want something different.

 

[Megzz]

No, legally there isn't. Unless you own a zoo or something.

Unless you're a zoo owner you can't do it, that's the law as it stands.

Why not look at what snakes you haven't got yet? Or get some lizards?

There are some very nice animals living here.

sigh.... you have 3 options...

get a zoo.
get a circus.
become a magician.

Those are the three... lol

Cool thanks guys, I just like really really really big snakes. Fascinated with them. Scrub python be 10 years grow before he is huge, although he about 4.5 months old and nearly 4 ft. Agressive little fella, big teeth for his size.

'Controlled pest' Funny how they make up these 'rules' PMFSL!

 

[Retic]

No it's true, rabbits in NSW have all been told they are allowed to come here, not even on holiday.

 

[redbellybite]

everyone knows we banana benders dont keep rabbits ...we keep long eared guinea pigs

 

[Megzz]

Wow that sounds like a good rule, I had no idea.

Over here there are so many pet rabbits being bred people just give them away...

Please stay on topic. Thread is not about rabbits.
