As some people may be aware and others are probably not the whole DSE Wildlife Act and Regulations in Victoria are to be be totally renewed next year.This basically means a whole new set of regulations to be revised and renewed to over take the existing one.I have personally spoken to senior officials and one of the main topics seems to be the recent issue with crossbred pythons.As it stands in Victoria at the moment Morelia Spilota Variegata covers
-All Coastal Carpet Varieties
-Imbricata (WA)
-Jungles
-Murray/Vic Carpets
-Darwin
This means that as the law in Victoria stands at the moment crossing/hybridising any of the above is totally legal as they are all classed as the same.As the new "Jaguar morph" is now a topic of heavy discussion in recent threads I wonder how it will affect the legalities of owning one or any other cross breeding of the previously "variegata" varieties.The main issues I can see is how to determine that a Morelia Spilota ...... is actually a "pure" variety should they be categorised into their own species.I am posting for some constructive comments and am not looking for debates on Jags on crosses.
