LOL i'm going to get it at 12 tonight :)
But haven't heard that about aus... be suprised if it's anything but a rumour... we all know what they are like over there. Don't think it would effect me much... I want their pythons! Not BD's!!!

Well, there have been zoos that got permits to obtain some specimen from Australia for their breeding programs. Some of those breeding lines enters the market from time to time. How else do you think the Stimson's and Anthill Pythons show up over here?

So I am guessing they MIGHT loosen up the permits to private collectors as well. I really hope so though, some of our stocks are inbred due to the stupidity of people of not waiting at least five generations.
 
None of them considered threatened/endangered then? None are CITES animals at any level?
 
Even Anthills and Stimson's are rare around here. I have only see them go on the market like twice. I think they go for about $300 and upward, based on what others tell me, depending on how much the breeders are willing to drop them on the market for.

Anyway, back to monitors, if Australian monitors ever become "cash cows", they would be suffering genetic problems that are subjected to under idiotic "investment" breeders. Although I have heard of some genetically weak Storr's showing up the market lately; not sure if there is any truth to it.
 
that head shot of the green staring with attitude is a crazy pic...
