Yes, it was in the Morning Bulliten in Rocky too.... first a few small lines under a 'weird world' title in the middle of the paper, then next day....
the FRONT PAGE!!! - the had reported that the botanical gardens/zoo here in Rocky was 'looking' into purchasing it....
I happen to know the reptile keeper at the zoo, who just laughed and said he wouldn't waste the zoos money on a freak of nature....
Imagine if you were going to spend $205'000 AUD on reptiles, that could be 4 breeding pairs of GTP, and who knows what else...
