Before this goes much further, it might be worth asking whether these photos were taken in Australia! We've been stitched up like this before.

 

[wranga]

[Jdsixtyone]

Is it?

 

[Jdsixtyone]

yer Derekm i rememba that one.

 

[chondrogreen]

Suprising how many of these are caught.

I dotn want to start up another thread and get a handful, but why do people hate these snakes so much? IF you found one could you tell the decc and say i found a corn snake and ask if you can keep it but if you cant keep it anymore just give it to them the freeze?

 

[fritzi2009]

I don't understand why anyone hates them? Is there something I should know about......

 

[notechistiger]

snakemadness, people hate them in Australia because they damage our ecology (competition for other snakes, etc.). They are illegal in Australia, and the DEC/EPA, etc. will not allow you to keep it. They will take and euthanise it, it's as simple as that.

I have that same dog bowl

 

[Jdsixtyone]

I know that they r illegal but what i really mean is why do they hate them even if they werent illegal would people still hate them? I didnt know they damage our ecology.

its an exotic that has either been illegally imported into australia or a decendent of these illegal snakes. they arent able to be kept as they have been deemed to be a risk to our native stocks. yes they are a living creature and are a nice looking snake, but there illegal. wow never thought id be taking such a moral stand
