ARP has the only ones on display at the moment. There was 2 of them went on the NSW NPWS books when the amnesty was declared I am told, but one escaped or died. This could just be one of those rumors though Apart from that, the only ones are the 3(?) that ARP took from the wild and the ones that they have bred from those 3. I don't think they will go extinct, they are not known to be in decline or anything, just have a very small range that is very dificult to access. They are not threatened by land clearing or human pressures so ferals would be their only real threat. Snakes seem to survive the pressure of ferals alright so I think they will be safe in the wild. I don't know about them coming into private collections, that'd depend on whether the ARP is allowed to sell them I guess. I can't imagine CALM giving anyone permits to collect them in the near future.
