No, they didn't. It's been illegal to take them out of Australia for a very long time, way before anyone over there bred them. I know the first person to have bred lace monitors in Europe (the only legal founder stock there) and these are not from his bloodline. These animals have been 'laundered'. It's most likely the founder stock consisted of smuggled animals or someone abused their class A zoo privileges and released them into the private trade, which is frowned upon.
