are you kidding. if you knew solar 17 from his past threads and post that he has made you would know that he is above board and there would be no reason for NPSW to confiscate his animal. if you read up on gtp you will find that dna testing has been done between the PNG and australian forms and they both carry the same dna.
anyway nice sorong solar 17. cheers
Awesome looking exotic GTP's Solar.
Have you bred them yet ?
Cheers,
Aleks.
NPWS might not confiscate your Sorong GTP, but the Feds can. Just a few years back they introduced a law that simply states if you process an exotic animal(non Australian) and you can not prove that is was legally imported or a decendant of legally imported you can be prosecuted. No NSW amnesty will protect you as NSW can not override federal law. Be careful what you state on open forums.
As for DNA, Aussie GTP's and southern PNG are the same species, BUT, there are differences just like sub species of morelia spilota, However northern PNG GTP's are a seperate species alltogether
Unless the line is pure Australian, the only other legal GTP's would be from Ultimate. Tims GTP's were obtained from Bob Buckley who showed in court that his origional 2 breeders were legally obtained. One was a wild caught GTP from Cape York obtained under permit. The other was imported into Australia be Taronga Zoo .
