As the address appears to be bouncing I would suggest that you try faxing them. Sorry Im only the messenger.
 
No cost, these would be confiscated animals. As NPWS has done in the past with confiscated animals, they are put out to ballot. The only condition is you must be able to pick them up at that time and have the right, up-to-date licence. Otherwise I believe they go to the next person drawn from the ballot.
 
Peter, is there a contact person at DEC for further enquiries?
 
How large would a 'Diporiphora australis' be as a juvenile?
 
Thanks for posting this Peter :):) good luck to everyone in the ballot I hope we find out soon if any of us have been successful :) the anticipation is killing me :)
 
has anyone got a call yet? i missed a private call this morning while driving i hope it wasnt them :( i was driving through a school zone so didnt answer it. BUUUGGGGEEEERRRR!!!!!
 
i won the shingleback but my OH decided to drive to work today so i cant get there, can someone pick it up for me or do i have to do it myself
 
Only just spotted this right now. Bugger! Still sent an email though and then read about the 12pm til 4pm. Now i am hoping i dont get a call. Bit unfair about the times as it really only allows Sydneyites to get these animals.
 
on the last ballot people offered to pick up reptiles for me if i wanted to enter... then they would freight them up to me later.. so its not just sydneyites that a capable of getting them... though i know what ya mean..
