But I guess that would be considered smuggling
Honestly due to the exchange rates our prices SHOULD never be as low as yours. I'm not really very knowledgable about business (though I have signed up for a year of business after I finish my bsc) so I can't really talk about the "market".
I know you were joking about smuggling but I seem to recall a story going something along the lines of every beardie descending from smuggled adults brought in by one of the hobby's founding fathers. Also carpet morphs from Australia have a habit of magically appearing in Europe with no explanation of how they got there.
Smuggling isn't unheard of in the hobby but it is frowned upon and highly illegal. I wouldn't suggest anyone attempt it especially when it's legal to import stuff lol.

I had bought a super dwarf reticulated python full grown at 8ft just like 1.5 inches under anyway like 3 and a half years ago me not knowing anything about the laws and what not where I love and I had accidentally bought an illegal snake and worse paid for it to be shipped from Toronto to British Columbia and I frantically called and emailed the seller and left messages saying please cancel the shipment of the SD RETIC as its illegal to own in my area 1 day later sure enough a knock on my door and it's a live reptile box my heart sank I was like now what do I do? I kept him hidden for about 4 months and he was amazing for the time being he was super active when hungry and he wouldn't nip no matter how hungry he got but he would head butt you lol anyway the seller contacted me 6 and a half months after and said he was in the hospital in a coma idk if it's true or not like what's the odds you shipped the snake while in the hospital you had plenty enough time to cancel the shipment I had even said please don't I don't want him being killed as a result of being found but keep the money and the shipping cost and send me pair axanthic hognoses and a mohagany ball python sex doesn't matter and nope no reply even though he aamted he knew it was illegal and had to go back like an hour later and say it's a different box this is a red tail boa but I did end up finding him a lovey caring home with a massive encloser in their gigantic garage lol it was atleast 11ft tall I believe 6ft wide and a length of the entire garage so around 17ft and it has a concrete pond that drains into the sewer tons of live plants and trees lol everytime I go their I have to see my old buddy and then day when we going to camp in your mini amazon I'll snag pictures next time I go to 100 mile house

when this BP first stormed the scene, minds were blown! it was a pure black and white snake. no grey in between. it had a very clear and constrasting pattern. i mean look at this awesome girl!
the Stormtrooper hatched in the Summer of 2015. it started turning to the "darkside" sometime during the Winter of 2015/2016. it started blacking out and losing it's clear lines. it was probably around 6 months old by this point and i couldn't accurately guess her weight, but she looks perfectly plump.
this is the latest pix i could find of the Stormtrooper. it's probably around 1.5 years old at this point and per JD, has stopped changing colors.
anyway what do u think of the Stormtrooper? personally i'm disappointed that it started blacking out and lost it's pattern. but what can u do? it is what it is. i don't think it looks entirely like crap, but it has lost a major part of it's appeal.
the Stormtrooper has been on display at the big, big shows and at one point had a $50k price tag. from what i understand, it's no longer for sale and JD will be breeding it to try and figure out what the hell is going on.
i think it's still a cool BP and but i'm not in love with it anymore. i still look forward to seeing what happens with the project. hopefully it's not a one-off snake and there's something genetic in there. exciting things can still happen.
anyway what do u think?
Been following him for a while and this stunner of a ball python since he first announced and shown it off I was blown away at the stark contrast between the whites and black then when he places it next the the exact same morph it's like 100× cleaner/better looking lol

Re: The Stormtrooper!!
Well I'm a firm believer and have been saying it for about 4 years about 5 morphs lol but it's mainly my vpi axanthic female I have always said she's going to everything because everything is better with axanthic lol like Mr. JD constriction and I want to see a blue and pure ball python with visible green not just some green hues although I have seen some from Kevin Mccurly that have these darker greenish circles on their sides sometimes not circles and lighter green lol soo cool

I still love that it is ONLY black and white. I think that is amazing. She is a pretty girl. I would LOVE to have her.

Re: The Stormtrooper!!
I think she's still a very cool looking snake, but in my opinion she's nowhere near as stunning as when she was younger. I loved those clean lines. I am disappoint.
