Re: Importing Lace Monitors?
Not exactly sure what you meant, had to make sure I was reading it right.
You are aware that "the kane toad stuff" down there is an ongoing epidemic right?
Either way, if you try hard you can still find Lace monitors at a reasonably price. I know the makasar port and the java port get them from time to time, there are small island colonies that are farmed pretty heavily.

What islands are those? As far as I know, lace monitors are not found anywhere off of mainland Australia.

Because if reptile exports were legal it would be too easy to rort the system and start sneaking out rare reptiles, or start raiding wild nests to sell WC animals as 'CB'.

The key line in this quote is "at least that's what the exporters tell you". Yes, someone is feeding you a line about smuggled animals.
1. Reptile export out of Australia has been illegal for a long time and no one was breeding them, then, so the story of breeding lines predating the ban on exports is exactly that - a story.
2. Why on earth would they be exported to Java and Sula, of all places?
3. It's no coincidence that Indonesia is known for a rorted export system whereby WC animals are smuggled out as 'CB', therefore Java and Sula are named as the places where lace monitors are 'heavily farmed' (lol). Lace monitors aren't farmed anywhere.

Gregg, Lace monitors are found on several islands off the east coast of Australia, in the states of Queensland (e.g., Whitsunday Islands, Frazier Island, South Stradbroke Island, Bribie Island...) and Victoria (e.g., Phillip Island), and maybe New South Wales as well?

I think you've taken his quote out of context. This was the original context (a suggestion that there are island colonies of lace monitors not governed by Australia's wildlife export laws):
