The point why I said that I think we will see carinatas in the far future is, that I've heard that animals can be imported by zoos from Australia. Unfortunatelly no private collector can import animals from Aus.



On the other hand, look at all the "legal" bredli, womas, black headed pythons, Dwarf Pythons and also at the whole carpet subspecies and diamonds.



Don't you think its naive to believe, that these animals descended from a "founder stock" of animals imported in the 1960s?



To me it is quite clear, that most of our animals today are offspring of illegal animals.

But I don't care about that, since the most animals today are really captive bred.



Another possibility to get legal wc australian animals is, to get animals that were smuggeld outside australia but confiscated.



And this is what I could imagine has happend. Maybe one guy smuggled them, they were confiscated and given to a zoo or private collector. These animals should be legal in the hands of the person they were given to.
