Has anyone ever heard of....

Has anyone here ever heard of a Vanautu Tree Boa? I found one in a pet store, and I am interested in buying it, but I have looked and looked and I can't find ANYTHING about them. The one I found is pinkish orange in colouration, and has a narrow, leaf-like head. The tail is slightly thick. The colouration on the sides is a very striking mottled orange, white, and gold/beige.

They are a type of Candoia bibroni (Indo. tree boas) and Vanuatu is a locale they can come from.
