What Australian Elapids have made it to the private sector? Who keeps and breeds these animals? I'm currently in search of some (have a few deals pending) but I want to know what all is out there and who I need to get ahold of to get it.

Thanks,

John Light

Some species are really dificult to find. I also search for some special snakes. You will find more answers under http://www.environment.gov.au/index.html. If you want to contact them personaly they will most accuratley know witch species you can export from Australia if you are searching for a special snake. Mail: wildlifetrade@dep.gov.au. There is a lot of possibility also with Australian breeders. They can export snakes under some minor conditions. Wildcought are more difficult to find but there are some that can be legaly exported.

B.K.K.

I'm happy i could be of assistance.

Hi!

"Live pet animals of certain Australian native species and CITES listed species may be imported or exported with a permit. In the case of native Australian animals the species proposed for export must be included on the List of native household pet animals."

No reptiles included in this list.

I don´t think you get any live reptiles out of australia as a hobbyist in any way legally(....), but please prove me wrong
