They are generally given the the youth in AsiaIs this only done in NSW? I never see this done for other states but animals are getting seized from collections all the time. What system is used in other states?

how come the adult carpet is an unknown species? thought deccw would have an expert there that could tell which sub species it is
Do you recall my Strophurus elderi I won a few years ago![]()
Yeah I do, what a cracker that was LOLDo you recall my Strophurus elderi I won a few years ago![]()
I did have a talk with a snake catcher here that snakes caught that aren't native are sometimes given to the catcher or another wildlife carer. I don't know about seized reptiles.
one sues to recover damages.....what damages ? the cost of a bus/train fare ! or the cost of a little petrol... that would be the extent of Qantum.The main reason none of their experts would definitively identify the carpets is because of all the morphs/hybrids out there
If someone won a snake identified as Palmerston Jungle and it was actually an Atherton Jungle they would probably try to sue the department for false advertising
So a lot safer to just say carpet python and be done with it
This is a waste of public service funds,the carpets and murray turtle were on the previous exemp list anyway,they were probably better off where they were before they cofiscated them,does stuffall for conservation.
What if the animals were poached?, how can one even know if they were being kept off licenseThis is a waste of public service funds,the carpets and murray turtle were on the previous exemp list anyway,they were probably better off where they were before they cofiscated them,does stuffall for conservation.
What's wrong with this system of giving the animals a new home. I think it is better having the reptiles keep by a licensed keeper. The idea of licensing is to keep a record of reptiles keep and try to prevent wild capture. I don't see a problem with that.
