Hi Emma, good to see you posting on here I would disagree to an extent on the availability of pure morelia in the UK, I have seen most forms available quite readily and now even Darwins and Inlands but yes more specific locales are obviously harder. Again there seems to be this misconception that everything available overseas is mixed up and crossed to death, this obviously isn't the case as there are many purists in other countries as well. The thing is that even here if a seller tells you a Jungle is from Tully or Mission Beach or wherever we have to take their word for it as they don't have distinguishing marks that make them unique to that area.
As you say you are able to get practically any animal in the world so you are extremely lucky. So what is the one you can only dream of ?
I will ask around about a female Olive if you like.

@ cement, yes pure are really hard to get hold of here. not so much your coastals, bredlis and jungles but your locale sp., darwins and inlands then yes they are.
again its also about buying off trusted breeders over here. id rather pay a bit more for an animals whos what im told it is. there are only a few breeders here id buy off due to this reason.
its funny but over here Jag sibs sell for more than a pure coastal!
i can get hold of the majority of animals i want (only one i can only dream of!) so we are spoilt here a bit, its the price of them thats the problem meaning i can only add the pures at a slow rate!
still cant get a female olive python though!
@longgii as you know we have a massive problem with cross bred boas over here as well as the carpets. there are always loads of "what am i" threads on that other UK site! im even going as far as to have my hog islands DNA tested before i breed them so i can see how muddied their bloodlines are.
in the UK Jags are always going to be big but there seems more people line breeding and the RP bredli line is really interesting.
