if you like to see some wild pics you can go to ATR site...Image Gallery....Pythons....Oenpelli. You'll find some pics that the Aussie herpetologist Dave Pearson gave me about 7 years ago from a trip at Kakadu.

if they ever did take off on the captive stream they would probably come onto the market at something rediculous like $24,000 a pair. talk about monopoly

They have a fairly restrictive Range, only found in parts of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory.

the ones bred by Krauss were seized by NT parks officers and returned to the NT, I believe to the desert park but apparently these didn't survive. the reason they were taken was because Krauss didn't have permission to export them out, so that annoyed parks officers.... that is the report on the situation that i got anyway.

you can see the 2 cuties Krauss hatched back in the '80 on the book "Reproductive Husbandry of Pythons and Boas" by Ross and Marzec. I think that $24,000 is a VERY optimistic view as this taxon is far stranger lookink than carinatas and worht even more!
VERY NICE!!!

the question is rather....if you had the money would you pay it? the ture worth of a snake is what someone is willing to pay for it! Sorry for going off topic!!!

I cant afford that money for snakes too! I was only speaking about a GREAT price/value in order to show how much I like them, even MORE than carinata...just my 2% of course as nobody knows for "much how" and "if" there will be ever available.
Cheers
