Police are still searching for about 40 reptiles that were stolen last weekend from a snake park in Edenvale.
Two suspects were arrested on Friday in connection with stealing 180 reptiles including six deadly Venezuelan rattlesnakes from the Hunyani Reptile Education Centre.
The centre’s owner Clive Reid has confirmed that 118 reptiles have been recovered, but 40 are still missing.
Reid said the motive may have been to sell them off.
“There are two suspects in this particular case. It appears from the information that has been gathered that they possibly wanted to open up a pet shop somewhere and use this as stock that they could sell,” he added.
