Thank you for the down to earth and constuctive responses (even the against ones is really apreciated). Even if you disagree with my idea there is no need for hostile and rude responses. How did the green tree python get into the pet trade?, someone had to start it! their endemic region is not much more than the Oenpelli (and they seem to be the hardest to breed hence the price tag).
Just to explain myself further..from 1st post
The permit for the water python was rejected on the basis that it was a readily available species from breeders and pet shops!.
I am doing my Environmental science degree through charles darwin uni specalising in herpatology although I am first year. I have not bread any pythons yet but have studied the apropriate literature to make it work.

As I clearly state im my 1st post This has a 99.9% probability of it not happening. I will not go through with it with out proper authorisation. I will be working with local rangers to help me with it.
ps. the snake is still hunted for food. it needs to be breed to ensure it's survival. Until a sucesful breeding program is going only then can a low percentage of offspring can be sold to the pet trade. As stated earlier it would take years for something like this to be established (I should have worded my 1st post a bit more thorough).

This is not going to happen overnight just to be clear.
