They probably originated from an Australian hobbyist who collected them legally in 2006. I remember reading about his attempt but I can't find the URL at the moment.

I bet these are offspring from one of the US companies. I think Drs Forester and Smith maybe were breeding a pair of offspring that they got from the Australian pair.
