Will we ever see captive bred Oenpelli Pythons in the United States someday?

Are there any actually here? Aren't too many in Oz to begin with.

There are healthy populations in Australia, but all are on Aboriginal lands, and they consider them "holy" snakes for lack of a better term. I think there are only a few pairs legally kept in Australia and the breeding success has been low. I don't think we will see them for a very long time, if ever.

Does anyone have any pictures or links to share that would allow me to get a look at this python, in the wild or otherwise (if there are any readily available), that I may never get to see in person? I'm dying of curiousity! Thanks in advance!
