Today we went to the Reticon Expo to see if we could get some really good supplies to make an arboreal vivarium and if we saw some really cool geckos to order them. Well we didn’t find buy anything, but we went home sad because one of us wanted a grey banded king snake and one of us wanted a ball python. Oh well . . . we will get them eventually.

{Common names: green tree python.|Morelia viridis is a non-venomous python species found in New Guinea, various islands in Indonesia, and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia. | Completely arboreal with a striking green color. | No subspecies are currently recognized. |Adults average 90-120 cm (3-4 feet) in length, with a maximum grow to about 213 cm (7 ft). | The supralabial scales have thermoreceptive pits. |The color pattern is vivid green with a broken vertebral stripe of white or dull yellow. | Spots of the same color, or blue spots, may be scattered over the body. | Cyanomorphs are also known to occur. |Found in Indonesia (Misool, Salawati, Aru Islands, Schouten Islands, most of Western New Guinea), Papua New Guinea (including nearby islands from sea level to 1,800 m elevation, Normanby Island and the dEntrecasteaux Islands) and Australia (Queensland along the east coast of the Cape York Peninsula). | The type locality given is Aroe-eilanden (Aru Islands, Indonesia). | The diet consists of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles. | Despite many references in the literature, it does not include birds. | Switak conducted field work on this issue and in examining stomach contents of more than 1,000 animals he did not find any evidence of avian prey items. | Prey is captured by holding onto a branch using the prehensile tail and striking out from an s-shape position. | Oviparous, with 12-25 eggs per clutch. | The eggs are incubated and protected by the female, often in in the hollow of a tree. | Hatchlings are usually lemon yellow with broken stripes and spots of purple and brown, although golden or orange individuals may appear in the same clutch. | In all cases, the color soon turns to green as snakes mature. | These snakes are often bred and kept in captivity, although they are usually considered an advanced species. | This is due to their specific care requirements, but once these are met they thrive in captivity. | The second reason they are considered advanced is from wild caught individuals that often carry parasites and rarely tame down, although captive bred individuals usually calm down. |This species is sympatric with M. | spilota and the two often compete in the same ecological niche. | Primarily arboreal, these snakes have a particular way of resting in the branches of trees; they loop a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and place their head in the middle. | This trait is shared with the emerald tree boa, Corallus caninus, of South America. | This habit, along with their appearance, has caused people to confuse the two species when seen outside their natural habitat. |The largest threat to the species is habitat destruction, particularly in Western New Guinea, which is currently occupied by Indonesia and is being logged by the Indonesian government. | Many of these old growth forests that they live in are also inhabited by native papuan tribes who eat the snakes. |Common names: Chondro python.|Morelia viridis is a non-venomous python species found in New Guinea, various islands in Indonesia, and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia. | Completely arboreal with a striking green color. | No subspecies are currently recognized. |Adults average 90-120 cm (3-4 feet) in length, with a maximum grow to about 213 cm (7 ft). | The supralabial scales have thermoreceptive pits. |The color pattern is vivid green with a broken vertebral stripe of white or dull yellow. | Spots of the same color, or blue spots, may be scattered over the body. | Cyanomorphs are also known to occur. |Found in Indonesia (Misool, Salawati, Aru Islands, Schouten Islands, most of Western New Guinea), Papua New Guinea (including nearby islands from sea level to 1,800 m elevation, Normanby Island and the dEntrecasteaux Islands) and Australia (Queensland along the east coast of the Cape York Peninsula). | The type locality given is Aroe-eilanden (Aru Islands, Indonesia). | The diet consists of small mammals, such as rodents, and sometimes reptiles. | Despite many references in the literature, it does not include birds. | Switak conducted field work on this issue and in examining stomach contents of more than 1,000 animals he did not find any evidence of avian prey items. | Prey is captured by holding onto a branch using the prehensile tail and striking out from an s-shape position. | Oviparous, with 12-25 eggs per clutch. | The eggs are incubated and protected by the female, often in in the hollow of a tree. | Hatchlings are usually lemon yellow with broken stripes and spots of purple and brown, although golden or orange individuals may appear in the same clutch. | In all cases, the color soon turns to green as snakes mature. | These snakes are often bred and kept in captivity, although they are usually considered an advanced species. | This is due to their specific care requirements, but once these are met they thrive in captivity. | The second reason they are considered advanced is from wild caught individuals that often carry parasites and rarely tame down, although captive bred individuals usually calm down. |This species is sympatric with M. | spilota and the two often compete in the same ecological niche. | Primarily arboreal, these snakes have a particular way of resting in the branches of trees;

18 month old male green tree python, purchased from Signal Herpetoculture. If you’re interested in a chondro, I recommend the following: – Check out the caresheet/husbandry info on Greg Maxwell’s site, finegtps.com. His book, The More Complete Chondro, is a must-have as well. – The Morelia Viridis Forum (moreliaviridis.yuku.com) is full of helpful info and people as well. Those helped me out greatly when I was first researching these critters, and I still reference the sites and book all the time.
