Default Snake as a prize?

Just went for a look on ReptileWeb Classifieds followed a link titled...
New forum photo comp prize Jaguar carpet python
and found this....

Non reptile related forums will be added when requested
No bullying or newbie bashing will be tolerated as we all started some where !
suggestions are always welcome and no questions are left un answerered

new photo competiton coming soon top prize to include a jaguar carpet python bred by myself !

Is this legal ? I didn't think that a live animal could be given as a prize.
If so is it right? morally not sure about this.
I'd be interested in other opinions on this.

I thought it wasn't legal as well. Certainly not a good idea.

Mate of mine won a boa in a photo comp for an interesting pic taken in her earlier modelling career..... im naming no names tho, she can herself if she likes


Dont see any harm in it as long as the winner can take care of the animal.
