Are Colombian boas illegal to own in Australia?

Question

I got a baby boa, and im fretting about saying goodbye when i move to Australia in a few years. is it illegal to own just one in Australia? and if not is there any way to get a license? im going to be very sad if i have to give her up...

Answer 1

I doubt you will get it through customs.   They are very strict on importing foriegn animals etc.  

Answer 2

yeah its pretty unlikely you will get your Colombian Boa into Australia (without incurring a sheetload of expense with all the quarantine requirements).  However, if you are moving to Sydney, it is much kore the fashion there to wear a feather boa (usually a pink one).  So try that, and you'll fit right in.
