The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has a number of reptiles to distribute amongst licensed NSW reptile keepers via a ballot system. The animals are: Eastern Blue-tongue Lizard, Tiliqua scinoides (juvenile); and Eastern Water Dragons, Physignathus leisuri (both juvenile and subadult) All animals have been health checked by staff at Taronga Zoo. Licensed NSW keepers who are interested in obtaining one of these animals will need to register their interest by contacting the NPWS by Thursday the 27th of February 2003 either by e-mail to [email protected] or fax on 9585 6401 detailing their name, address, licence number, daytime contact details and species wanted. There is a limit of one animal per person. Successful applicants will need to hold a current reptile keepers licence, and be able to pick up the animal in person from NPWS head office, at 43 Bridge St, HURSTVILLE during business hours within 48 hours of the drawing of the ballot. There will be no charge for the animals. All successful applicants will need to verify in writing when they pick up the animal that they have the necessary facilities to quarantine the animal from any others in their collection for a minimum period of 12 months. They must also sign a waiver indemnifying the NPWS against any diseases that the animal may develop or pass to other animals in their collection.
