Saltwater crocodile: Hermès's most expensive exotic skin.
PurseBop calls crocodile Porosus, sourced from Asia or Australia, the most expensive exotic skin at Hermès.

Like Niloticus it comes in matte and shiny finishes, and Hermès marks it with a caret (^) beside the stamp. PurseBlog notes Hermès sources Porosus from Australia.
