Unfortunately there are lots of dishonest people in this hobby, the arrival of Jags hasn't increased or decreased their numbers.
What's not to love ?
I've been trying to get my hands on a Jungle Jaguar but there is some sort hiccup with my recreational licence. I'm not giving up hope though.

To me, it shows that over half the community on this site put bling above health of the animals, and the security of future Oz lines...............read this thread in 10 years!
check out what the yanks are doing with aussie pythons, I have been watching for a while now and am finding its just starting to take off over here.
We are about 10yrs or more behind, but the trends are almost identical, and if followed carefully there are some hot looking snakes with big $$$ to be made!
There will always be the untouched originals for the die hards, but why not play around a bit and enjoy the huge variety of morphs that will be in the near future...we cant stop it so sit back and enjoy
@ 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.
I would imagine that with the locale specific side of things in regards to the desirability of Australian pythons to keepers overseas would not be a significant factor over simply obtaining a pure bred specimen. I would think that the locale specific component would mean a lot more to people who have visited some of the places and seen firsthand many of our reptiles that have a bit of area specific uniqueness about them. It certainly made a huge difference to my attitude, that’s for sure. Perhaps in some small way, this is in part why the Jags don't really mean a lot to me.
