I can totally understand the need to protect your native species. I think it's great that your government has gone to such lengths in order to do so given all the problems that have been caused by imported species. The cane toad and the house cat come to mind. I'm really interested to see how this will work out in the end though, and not for just selfish reasons. I saw a picture of the amelanistic blackheaded python on this site, wow! I love blackheadeds and they cost a fortune here. So do womas, and almost every other Aussie species except for a few to the antariesia (if I spelled that right).
