What this website provides

Non-native animals such as exotic birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians or mammals can cause significant problems if deliberately or accidentally released into the wild. They can threaten native plants and animals, spread disease, affect human health, and impact on agriculture. 

This website provides a simple method for you to report possible sightings of new pests, specifically Red-eared Slider Turtles and American Corn Snakes.

These pests have recently been found in the wild in various locations around Australia. They are considered high-risk pest species because they can cause significant problems. If you suspect you may have seen either of these species in your local area, please report the sighting immediately. Your report can help local experts to protect our environment, agricultural industries, people, and human health.
