Will Liasis ever take off?

[PythonWallace]

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?

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.
