I got my GTP!

Have you or are you planning on handling him?
Beautiful!

He is gorgeous! I love GTP's!

Very nice!! :D You're so lucky!! I love his faint blue dorsal pattern... do you have any idea what locality he is?

I know I can't wait to get one of these guys either, and it will definitely be my display snake as well. They are so amazing!! Love the name too btw!! ;)

Just awesome:sweeet:

I'd love to get a GTP someday. Congrats on your new addition!

:rofl: Yep, I thought it was a good fit! My sister and I were throwing out evil sounding names and that one was hilarious.

We were looking for a well fitting name. Not that he's nasty and tries to bite, but the guy said "you know you really don't hold these snakes right?" I said, "oh, no, I don't want him for holding." He said, "that's good, because he bites." :rofl: He was good when I opened the tub to look at him and take pics.

I started falling for them when I first got into BPs, but the word 'vicious' always came up while reading/talking about them and I thought, no way! But, their beauty won me over and I really wanted a display snake!

Um no. I don't particularly care to get bitten by one of these guys so I'm going to try my best not to. Plus the fact that the guy said he bites and told me "if you want to hold a snake go hold one of your BPs, if you want to look at a snake look at him." :P

I have no clue. The only thing I thought to ask in that area was what color he was as a baby, and that was yellow. I'm glad you think he is pretty, he doesn't have much of a pattern left, but I still think he' pretty neat to look at!

I hope you get one some day! I was so lucky to find him at a good price and see him in person rather than just pics before I bought him.

I thought the name was pretty funny :P

Me too!! :D The more I see pics of them the more I want one, and I'm on kingsnake.com almost every day drooling over all the babies haha

Hmmm, well I'm definitely no expert on the localities, but from what I've seen, I think the Jayapura and the Cyclop (?) are the main ones that have the blue... but he could always be a cross as well. I was just asking because I'd really like to get one with some blue. He's beautiful in any case!!

Yeah I have no idea. From what I've read it's kind of like BP hets, you don't really know till you breed them. I do like his blue though. That's another plus about buying an adult, you know what color they will turn out!

I know I'm kind of late replying to this, but I couldn't resist!

He is so, so lovely and Hacksaw is an awesome name. I love GTP's and I hope to have one someday. Congratulations on your new beauty! :)

Thank you very much! I have some new pictures of him in his new home. I might make a new thread for that though. It's not complete yet, it only has substrate and a post.

I hope you get your GTP someday!
