Theres been some talk in an older thread on here how interstate keepers now need to book in any reptiles they wish to freight before they get to the AAE terminal.
Last time I was out at Sydney AAE there was no problem in just taking the animals there and booking them in at the counter, however when some animals were taken there last weekend the AAE person at the desk insisted that as from 1st May 2011 all animals have to be booked in either by phone or via their website..
whether it was just this particular employee that is saying this or whether its going to mandatory Im unsure but it may pay to book them in from now on to avoid drama at the counter and a wasted trip to the airport. he also whinged because they were double bagged and in a plastic box inside another Australia Post hard cardboard box and ranted how they should be in a "wooden box" so maybe he's just an overzealous employee or maybe the regulations are about to be changed..
anyone else with information on this?
