Just looking around at some sites I occasionally go to and found this from 'signal herpetoculture'
'Pure Merauke 50% possible heterozygous albino captive born and bred by Trooper Walsh.'
'The sire to this animal is Trooper's pure Merauke heterozygous albino and the dam was a pure Merauke owned by Tim Morris. This animal has a 50% possibility of carrying the albino gene. He is fully mature and ready to breed now. If you want to get into the albino chondro project here is a way to possibly get started immediately. No waiting on possible het hatchlings to produce in a few years.'
Asking $16,000.00 US
Payment plans considered. International orders accepted. Full documentation provided.
A shame that we couldnt import one of our own...
After reading greg maxwell's 'the value of locality specimens'
From my understanding...
aru, irian jaya, sorong and biak are the indonesian/papua guinea locality.
Merauke the australian locality of the green tree python.
Anyway, I really just wanted to know how they detremine if it is a 'pure merauke'. Does the history of this green tree have to be recorded all the way back to its original parents?. And for the offspring off this snake to remain pure merauke, would it also have to mate with a female merauke and continue the bloodline... or inbreed?.
International orders accpeted. Of course no 1 in australia can purchase them... but what about zoo's and the ARP. Would it be possible for them to purchase it?
Trying to get my brain around this whole locality thing ... Cheers.
