Excuse Me Sir But Can You Please Empty Your Pockets?

Indian Star Tortoises, despite being illegal to export, are still very common in West Asian And Southern European pet stores.

Retic in Wales

A large reticulated python was found in southern Wales on monday, very far from it's natural east asian habitat.
