Only one week ago, I was on a farm in Indonesia hand-picking every animal in this shipment. Between the flights, airports, and jet lag, it all feels like a blur — but now they’re here.
In this video, I’m bringing it full circle with a first look at a handpicked snake import from Indonesia, including Green Tree Pythons and other uncommon species that rarely make it into the U.S. This is not a sales video — it’s about transparency, process, and showing what a real import looks like from selection to arrival.
With everything happening in the reptile world lately, responsibility and animal health matter more than ever. All incoming Green Tree Pythons are tested for nidorvirus, something we’ve been doing for years. These samples are being sent out immediately, with results expected shortly.
Over the next week or two, we’ll begin sharing updates on how these animals are settling in — including feeding trials, behavior, and post-import progress. For now, this video is simply a first look at what made the journey.
Thanks for watching — more updates coming soon.
