Snake sperm - if you can obtain it - cannot be legally imported into Australia at this time.

For the law to change, here's what has to happen (simplified version):

Biosecurity Australia would need to conduct an Import Risk Analysis on snake sperm which would take several months (or years), they then make recommendations to Parliament, who then either sign off on the recommendations, reject them, or send them for further discussions.

Assuming the powers that be sign off on the recommendations, then you would need to meet the requirements they dictate - which can be expensive. This would also incorporate Customs/Quarantine/CITES conditions, and possibly also State DPI/Agriculture conditions too.

Hi Hix.

Interesting to read your post. You're the one who went on hols & took those beautiful pics & knew all the names of the critters you saw, right? I'm guessing you'd never get your cows and lizards mixed up!

I was just wondering about your background and what it is you do. Something in the reptile/animal/scienticic world, it seems.

Passivity?
i heard they bite. I also thought the blue parent looked a little ardinary and I was suspicious that they didn't post a pic of the babies and that they didn't sell them sexed...rip off

Ordinary?, they look about the same as just about every other green python in the country. Also if you do some research you'll find that sexing baby greens is extremely risky due to their fragile tails so you'd be more inclined to feel 'ripped off' if they actually had been sexed

Back on topic. I don't think that GTP's will ever be super cheap but the price will come down. The nature of the GTP market I think means that morphs will always attract a lot of interest and a price to match.

I would love to see the price of pure bred Aussie lines come within reach of the average Aussie herper who knows how to look after them which might happen one day. As for the morphs if it stays as a specialty market with specialty prices I cannot see that being bad for Aussie Herpers either.

C'mon, do you REALLY want us to be that dumb?!?

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyup they do

I'm inclined to agree with you, Herptrader. It's a shame there is such an air of secrecy and elitism surrounding them, although considering their prices @ this point I can understand the need for secrecy. And it's a shame that most people who want one don't have access to this divine creature. Hopefully there'll come a time when if she wants one, Zulu's daughter can buy one without having won lotto.

Also, the more we start talking about them, and spreading around the word of how to look after them, then perhaps by the time this happens people will know all about their particular needs and how to keep them. Things like not sexing them til 1yr old and what to do to prevent prolapse will become common knowledge. It would be too awful if a "Chondro Python Syndrome" became prevalent.

as for the ones on herptrader i was wanting to post this same thread, wanting to know the price, and as for 6500 i thnk that is very cheap considering that would have to be the only gtp i have seen that looks like and ozy as for the blue one well, i cant tell, but the male sure showed the signs of a pure ozy as far as i know. either way im posative when i have the money to get some in about 3 yrs they will be only about 3-4k due to the amount that where bred this yr and the amount that will have been bred between now and my purchase i can honestly say when i breed them i will sell the babies for 3500 or less, mainly because i belive the prce will be much cheaper by then.

Maxwell's book and a similar volume about to be published do a lot to address this. It contains more details on breeding and husbandry techniques for Chondros than any text I have ever read on any species of herp. The detail is such that I would recommend these texts to anybody interested in breeding pythons.

Been trying madly to get my hands on a copy. Is a new edition being printed? Is that why I'm having trouble finding it? Can you tell me where/when I can get one?
