    him today. my 2nd snake, first gtp. ive always found these guys to be amazing animals. found her in a shop ive never been to, it was the only gtp they had but i think shes gorgeous. i think i got a pretty good price too.

    didnt bite me at all while handling her in the shop or when i got her home and into her new cage, which was a pleasant surprise

    can anyone help me id what kind of gtp it might be? i dont know a ton about the different localities of gtp but im really excited to see how she turns out. im loving the red right now though. lemme know whatchu think

    Congratulations! I think it's crazy how they start off dark red and then change to that bright green...

    Very nice GTP. I believe it is a Biak, but I am far from knowledgable about these beauties.

    You can't tell what "type" of GTP it is unless you are there to catch it at that location. Everything else is just a best guess. Even those that work with them for a long time won't put a locale on them without paper work. If you got it at a pet store, its probably a farm bred animal which would be a mixed locale.

    I also would caution you on handling at this age. The spines are fragile and you could damge it and not know until its an adult.

    Where did you buy this GTP? The sellers should know its locale ... if they don't, I wouldn't have bought it to be honest, but that's just me. If it was around $250, it is probably a biak, but if it was more, you have many other choices.
