Your view of the reptile hobby

[AussieSnake]

Some states in Australia now have mandatory enclosure sizes, these are a bit contentious though as it is hard to please everyone, you have those who are happy to have large display units, then those people with large collections who prefer rack systems. We also have rules around breeding between species (eg inter breeding between Morelia sub species). Unfortunately each state has different laws and none of them are really enforced correctly. For example technically jags are illegal in some states in Australia due to them being a breeding between sub species. For many years jags were only sold as RPM to get around this. I think regulation is important but it is difficult to find common ground between different sections of the hobby. And it seems you can never stop some individuals form indiscriminately breeding there animals for the heck of it, or to make a $$$$.
