In america their goin for about 400 but i do not belive they will ever drop lower than that becasue hey are hard to breed and even with 2 pairs successful breeding can not be sure especially with WC GTPs. But there are some good indonesian breeding farms that will ship healthy animals just about anyewhere (i think)

If u think about it we as buyers control the price of GTP and any other reptile. If u want them to go down in price don’t buy them at the price people are selling them for sooner or later the price will have to go down. It’s not like there going anywhere and every year people are breeding more and more of them and that alone will bring the price down how much well that’s anybody’s guess. JMO.

they are actually very easy to breed, its their incubation that most people have problems with.
supply and demand thats what holds their price.

I don't know where the idea they are hard to breed comes from to be honest.

As Trueblue says, incubation is the critical issue - getting them gravid and laying eggs is much the same as any Morelia. There's not much margin for error as far as temps go, and with the advent of reliable thermostats that can manage temps down to + or - 0.1C, the process is much easier to manage than it was even 3 or 4 years ago, hence the generally greater success with these beasties these days.

This is why some big breeders overseas use maternal incubation and have done for many years.

What do you mean dont get you started? Have you bought from over seas? And i should have said hard to breed, hatch, and get feeding, at least compared to many other snakes. And maternal incubation is not always completly relibable. Some femails wont even try but yes ther has been a lot of success and is used all the time

If Moose has bought from overseas I don't think he will be admitting it on here.

Sure there here, but the ones that were already here when the amnesty came in, can't be sold, and the illegal ones aren't worth loosing your license over if you get caught. (IMO)
