You might try PMing Lisa, Geoff, or Deadeye. They would have better connections for you. I think it will also depend on what part of Oz you're from.

An eastern shouldn't be heard to find in Australia! What part are you from though?

Wild ones are illegal
There's a shop in Melb opposite the Queen Vic Markets called Upmarket Pets (
www.upmarketpets.com/lizard.htm) that is well regarded.
Online through breeders, the best places are:
www.aussiepythons.com
www.herpshop.com.au
www.reptilesdownunder.com/ahc/search.php
There's also petlink.com.au, but you get alot of dodgy brothers on there.
From about Nov all the way through to next April you'll see lots for sale, but the bulk will be after Christmas.
Most of em are still enjoying the
making babies bit, as opposed to the
having babies bit, at this time of year

Yes, they have speckles on their back legs, and their front legs don't.
Oh, and when you go to Upmarket, the reptile section is downstairs in the basement.
