Sunbeam snakes are very rare in the USA, and nearly all are, unfortunately, Wild Caught from Indonesia. I doubt that Bling-Bling is any exception, but thus far Wild Caught specimens have been easy to import, but that may be ending soon. These are wonderful, non-biting, docile snakes and without a doubt are the most irridescent animal! They just shine rainbows across their whole body, which is really difficult to capture on camera. I was lucky enough to pick up this male a couple weeks ago, and will be getting in a female so that I can hopefully start producing captive bred sunbeams. They're great!
Just fyi, before you go out and buy one, these are not a beginners snake. They do not like being handled, stress easily, are hard to get to eat and breed, need thick burrowing substrate and really high humidity so you pretty much never see them. Just wanted to take him out real quick to show him off.
