Designer GTP's

[out_of_George]

Hey i was wondering if it is at all possible to acquire "designer" gtp's in Australia as all the websites i have visited seem to be American based.

What i mean by designer gtp's are Green tree pythons which have been selectively bred over generations to produce unusual and striking patterns and colours.
Any information as to whether u can actually buy them here or have them imported would be great.
Visit Fine Green Tree Pythons | HOME to get an idea of what i am talking about

Designer morph GTP of that quality (e.g. your link or: Alnusa-Indonesia) are not available in Australia and if they were, be prepared to take out a bank loan. We don't have the variation in that species here, although a few very nice designer morphs were smuggled in, it will take time before their progeny or gen2 will see the open market.
You can't import ANY reptiles from overseas.

LOL what a coincidence this thread is...

Indeed.

How could they be called Designer morphs, looks like someone has just picked them out of the bin.
Give me a normal classic GTP anyday.

Niall, you have got a GTP in Perth?

No I photographed it in PNG when I was over there on a field trip, this one came from the markets before it got sold for food.

If any of you are interested in going on the trip, here is the URL to his website.

I have to admit, I prefer normal GTPs to those 'designer' ones.

There is still a small group of chondros on the mountain directly behind the town at the entrance to Milne Bay
I ran a tuna longliner out of there a few years ago and thats where I saw my first wild chondro
