So I’ll start off with I have lots more research to do before I consider taking the plunge on a GTP. I’ve always loved the way they looked, but there were other species I was more interested in keeping so hadn’t done any serious research before now. The reason for the change? My Mom has talked off and on about getting one of the blue phase morphs since we saw one at a show many years ago (believe it was a Trooper Walsh animal). I know a total blue morph is still out of my price range, but there are some high blue morphs that are a possibility (anticipating $1,500-$2,500). After showing her photos of some of the normal green GTP’s, she has some interest in those and the high yellow adults, but the high blue still wins out.
So with some version of the blues in mind, I’ve been looking for US based breeders. I’ve only found two so far: Vibrant Viridis LLC & Viridis Pythons. I’d like to find out if anyone is familiar with either of them, and also recommendations for other reputable breeders. I’ve also found a couple of seemingly reputable GTP importers of CB juveniles from Indonesia, but that’s more risk (and potential headache) than I’m looking to take on. For all that I’m looking into this acquisition for my Mom, in reality the care is going to be all me if I do this...which still isn’t 100% sure yet. So anyway, US captive bred and born is what I’m searching for, but I’m not looking to purchase in the near future...probably a year out at the earliest.
