Abstract
► We surveyed green python traders and breeding farms in Indonesia. Large numbers of green pythons are illegally wild-caught and exported annually. Green pythons are laundered through breeding farms as “captive-bred”. Harvesting has resulted in the decline in certain populations. Python eggshells can be used to prove provenance.
