Steve, if it's B. irregularis you are looking for, and you're located anywhere outside of Australia, you're out of luck. That is, unless you run a zoological facility or something of that nature. Because of what happened in Guam, the US has put a ban on the importation of this species. This really sucks I know. I was looking for brown trees last year after visiting the Memphis Zoo and seeing their impressive specimen, but was quickly told that there was no legal way to get them privately.

Wow....that is bad knews! I really like these species and after seeing one on the croc hunter I got amped to get one.

Do you know of anything that is similar to these guys?

Thanks, Steve

If you are looking for something similar, there are about forty five other species of Boiga Boiga cynadon is one that is similar but better looking (in my opinion).

The particular one Irwin had was black and white striped, sort of like a high-white california king, pattern-wise. But of course it had a typical irregularis body shape. It was quite a spectacular looking specimen.
