I went to a reptile show in Queensland and a two people who were selling reptiles had a pair.
Revving up an old thread here, but I saw palm squirrels for sale yesterday in a suburban Sydney pet shop for $1500 each.
Actually it was at Macquarie Shopping Centre, North Ryde, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kellyville Pets had them too.
In the past I've also seen them at a bird dealer at Berkshire Park - possibly still do.
Although they have pest potential, I can't see them as a genuine threat. When I was a kid there were lots on Bradley's Head next to Taronga (escapees and their descendants) but they seem to have died out there now (probably with the assistance of N.P.W.S.) If they were going to spread all over Sydney, they would have done so then.
