Hi all,
I got an email from a cycling buddy about this last night...following is his email and my response? What do you guys reckon? Given Sydney is temperate climate I doubt if any exotic species would survive long (but am no expert) even if it was true.
"So I just got news that there is a ral live bowaconstricta (sic) which was released in the mashs of Oatley duck ponds.latest sights has it at about 45 inches rnd....."
my response
"I am definitely gonna see if I can check it out...but if its girth is 45" round I doubt if it would be a boa constricter as they are relatively small by large snake standards (only 3-4m max)...more likely either a burmese python or even more likely an Anaconda (Anacondas live primarily in the water).
Pls note that the private ownership of all exotic species of reptiles is strictly prohibited in Australia although I have heard a lot of black market smuggling so what pez is saying could be true"
