I wish I was! They are primarily from the Phillipines and therefore almost impossible to get as exportation is banned. Unless they reside in outlying islands I doubt they'll ever hit the US pet trade. Unbelieveably beautiful snakes!

I got some around eight years ago, they were sold as kupang (island of timor) mangroves, from glades herp. How long has the ban been in place?

No idea. Check out this fabulous Boiga site, if you go to the section on species and pics you'll read a bit about the ban under the Divergens sub-section.

Most of the divergens, sold as divergens are B.d. gemmicincta
I have read some U.S. traders who sell divergens, but in fact I think it was gemmicincta
B.d. multifasciata are stunning, too.

I'm not aware of a B. D. Multifasciata. There is a Boiga Multifasciata from India however.
