The Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) is offering three reptiles for disposal through a ballot. The following species has been identified for the OEH and are advertised as:

1 Common Bluetongue (Tiliqua scincoides)
2 Southern Leaf-Tailed Gecko (Saltuarius swaini)

Every effort has been made to correctly identify these animals. The OEH cannot guarantee the identification of an animal offered though the ballot system.

These animals have been seized during recent law enforcement investigations. Some of these animals may have been caught in the wild and their original capture locations are unknown. The return of these animals to the wild is not a responsible conservation option.

The OEH recommends that a veterinarian checks all animals received through the ballot system and a hygiene protocol be followed.

If you wish to be included in the ballot you must register your interest by 8.00 AM Monday 23 May 2011. Registrations received after this time will not be accepted. You can register your interest by either a faxed message to 02 9585 6401 or an emailed message to [email protected]

Phone inquiries will not be accepted.

Your registration must include the following:

1. the words OEH BALLOT in the title of your fax or email
2. your full name
3. your address
4. the animal you are interested in
5. your current NSW Animal Keepers’ Licence number authorising the possession of the animals you have registered for
6. your contact number between 10.00am and 11.00am on Monday 23 May 2011.

Any registrations that do not include all of the above will be excluded from the ballot. Licences will be checked before the ballot. Expired licences or licensees whose fauna record books we have not received for 2010 will also be excluded from the ballot.

NB: If you are successful in the ballot you must be available to collect the animal from the NPWS Cumberland North Area Office between 11.00am and 12.00pm on Thursday 26 May 2011. If you intend to have someone collect the animal from our office on your behalf they must have permission from you IN WRITING. Verbal permission will not be accepted.

If you are successful:

1. you will be notified by phone between 10.00am and 11.00am on Monday 23 May 2011
2. you must collect the animal from the NPWS Cumberland North Area Office between 11.00 am and 12.00pm on Thursday 26 May 2011. If you are unable to collect your animal during this time it will be forfeited to the next available person; and
3. you must bring a hard-shelled lockable container to transport your animal.

Note: the NPWS Cumberland North Area Office is located at Scheyville National Park, Scheyville Road Scheyville NSW 2756
