I know they're wonderful snakes, and there are some wonderful hybrids and intergrades....If I were you I would just be patient with not having them yet. At least you guys know what you're purchasing when you make a purchase. SO many people misrepresent their snakes here in the US because it looks like something that is worth more than what they paid, so they scam people and the breaking down of species just gets larger and larger. Its nearly impossible to get a nice pure jungle or coastal, or diamond. There are a LOT of heated arguements on the subject because a lot of people are against mixing snakes. Just like the Wom-ball that has began to get big here...mixing a Ball Python with a Woma....who would have ever thought of that?? And then charging 5K+ for it. I have to admit if you have enough patience to make it work, all the best to you....but I dunno.....I love Woma's...they're beautiful with their colors and markings....and you mix it with something like a Ball, and you can't even tell what it was.... I dunno....I'm floating in the middle of wanting these crosses because some of them are AMAZING looking....but then again I know with so many people trying to cross things to see what they can get, I'm just worried where the debate is going to be in 10+ years.... Kind of sad to think that we're taking advantage of beautiful animals in some ways. At least Aussie people cherish what you have!!
Sorry to ramble a bit....
