Candoia aspera Viper Boa... import and availability

So I have been looking for a Viper Boa (or two) for a while now, I currently own one male and I am interested in purchasing more. So far I have had absolutely no luck, I know this may not be the best site for me to post this question on, but I was hoping a few of the larger breeders here who deal with imports might know something I dont. Does anyone know anything about their availability in the states? any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I saw a pair at my local pet store a few years back. Haven't seen any since, even at expos lol.

I actually own a home female! I will have to check my sources to see if any are available.

Lol there was one on CL here about a month ago. Also check backwater reptiles. I believe they have them from time to time. Good luck!

I know Ben Siegel Reptiles have them sporadically..

Dan Eby recently had babies... I'd imagine he's selling a few when they're all feeding. You can find his adds on KS or e-mail me (ccarillephoto@gmail.com) and I'll pass you his e-mail. Legacay Reptiles (Joel and Orlando Diaz) are also working on breeding them, but I believe haven't been successful yet.

C. carinata and C. paulsoni are the only Candoia that have been on import lists recently I believe. Other than the two people I mentioned working with them, I'd say your best bet is to continue to check shows for imports. I think some may still be coming in and just not be advertised.

Thanks for the info everyone, i will definitly keep looking! Chris I will shoot you an email later this evening, thank you for the offer, I would appreciate it if you could put me in touch with Dan Eby.

Where are my pics? :)

Hey you! I promise they are comming soon, I was going to take pictures the night I got him, but it was too dark. I owe you and curtus forum some pics so hopefully I will get some today. Once got him into his temporary home, I wanted to let him chill for a while before I took him out for a photo shoot.
