    I know you're not joking - I would expect no less of you.

    It's okay - a little angry internet name calling isn't going to hurt my feelings. Pardon me however, if I insist on not stooping to your level.

    Answer the question - are you assuming that you're lack of exposure to liasis means that they are unpopular?

    I wouldn't go as far to say that they are unattainable but you can't go to a reptile expo and find 100 of them.

    I can't find 100 woma pythons at an expo, or 100 indigos, or 100 ackie monitors, or 100 cribos, or 100 children's pythons or 100 false water cobras at an Expo.

    That doesn't mean that those species are not unpopular or don't have a following - right?

    At the San Jose Reptile show I can honestly say I saw more savus than I did drymarchon or hydrodynastes or pine snakes.

    What do we make of that?

    It isn't the first time that I've been called as much and it won't be the last.

    Apology accepted. Peace.

    Like I said, I've owned a Macklott's, but at least in IL, liasis aren't popular at all. I saw all of the species you named at Tinley last week, but other than 3 savus, I dion't see any liasis, and I was asking around, because I wanted a pair of macklott's. There is also a bi-monthly show here with over 100 tables, and I rarely see a single liasis animal, while there are indigos and cribos, monitors and ackies, pines and gophers, etc. It's obviously not impossible to find liasis on the net, or probably in some areas locally, but the fact of the matter is; they are very unpopular for being such great snakes in so many ways. Especially when compared to similar boids.

    Call the EBV in Berkeley - they are literally giving away macklotts - they also have some papuans - at $600.00 a shot.
