These animals were very valuable to me as well as many others, quite a few of these animals are currently gravid and ready to lay. A large reward has been put up for the safe return and the name of the offender responsible.

that's terrible to hear.i hope they catch the people responsible for it soon.

the bumblebee bhp is such a unique animal , it makes me wonder how long before a bumblebee bhp hatchie shows up mysteriously in an overseas collection. because really how would any one in australia be able to explane breeding something like that now its been stolen.
even if you did happen to fluke it you would be under suspicion .
which is why i reckon it would show up overseas .
just my opinion

Scum bags!

I had a large female coastal and some water dragons stolen a few years ago, They couldn't unlock the other cages so they either gave up or got disturbed.
I know they aren't worth much but it still stung none the less.

String the bastards up!

Both myself my family and my many friends feel deeply sickened by this event.
Sam had done a great job knocking up two of the captive raised Pilbara black and White Black-headed python using the original and well talked about Bumblebee specimen.
This is a huge kick in the guts for more than a few people but none more than Sam.
I would also like to offer a $10,000 cash reward for the safe return of these reptiles to Sam or where ever (even if anonymously and no questions asked)
Alternatively for the same result I personally offer the following as a reward,
1 pair of green pythons
1 pair of Nephrurus wheeleri
1pair of W.A Woma pythons
1 pair of Pilbara Black-headed pythons
1 pair of Pilbara Black-headed Death Adders
1 pair of Wheat belt Stimsons
1 pair of Hold back Pilbara Stimson’s
1 pair of Cowleys jungles
Both the above listed reptiles (or cash) is also offered to anyone who supply’s information that leads to the return of the stolen collection. I can be privately emailed at

That's very generous of you Dave, well done.

Is a mug shot of the Bumblebee available to post?

I am not as generous as it sounds as a good majority of the stolen collection belonged to me anyhow.
None the less I hope Sam gets back on the horse again, if so I will certainly set him up again , thats if he hasn't been put off keeping reptiles for life.

I tried posting up a pic of the Bumblebee but I couldn't seem to do it.

Regards Dave

GOOD LUCK!!!!

If I hear of anything dodgy I will let you know/call police.

I know some shady people who I dont trust but they arent that smart......

I am pis*#d off for you.

I know someone who had his collection of new hatchys being 'cared for' by someone then they all 'got stolen'

did you try letting zoo's etc know of the species incase some get dumped? I know this probably wont happen but its worth letting everyone possible know so they have thier eyes and ears open.

Good luck again

Sam ..
