Hi Eric,

These are really hard to find as clean adults. In the past two years I've seen 1.2 adults for sale that were captive hatched. In other words, they were hathced from eggs laid by gravid imports and not truely captive bred and born.

One pair sold for $800, or so I was told. The lone female traded for well over $600 in value.

All imports are parasite ridden. Gonyosoma acclimate fairly well but still seem to have unexpected mortality.

Some fresh imports may be your best bet.

Current snakes:

0.2 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Silver/Yellow)

3.3 Gonyosoma oxycephala - (Green)

2.1 Gonyosoma janseni - (Black)

3.3 Gonyosoma janseni - (Black & Tan)

I expect importation of Gonyosoma will slow down for a while. I believe most specimens still come from Java, Indonesia.

i guess getting fresh imports is the only way to go on this deal, I guess i'll just get them dewormed and such.
