Just watched todays episode of little Brucey. He was on a crusade about illegal wildlife trade in Melbourne, which according to the authorities is 2nd only to drugs and generates billions of dollars a year in Melbourne alone. Glad I dont live there
Anyway the first capture is a lovely Goldern Tree Snake which according to Bruce is only found in Qld. Strange, I was of the opinion they are only found in the NT. You can learn something new every day by watching these shows. It must be right as its on TV.
The next capture was in a backyard shed. This time it was a python found in the bottom of a garbage bin filled with tree clippings. Bruce pulled out a beatifull Olive python about 5 to 6 ft long. Obviously again not from Melbourne and a smuggled reptile. He went on to describe how they are only found across the top of Australia and can grow over 4 metres long. The Olive was one of the darkest I have ever seen, with a almost rainbow sheen in it's colour. And unlike any Olive I have ever seen before this one had a bright yellow belly instead of typical cream colouration. Did anyone see this very educational episode????
And people bag out poor old Brady Barr
