There are some I believe that stay yellow as adults. Can't remember off the top of my head the name. But somebody posted about them once in another thread of Epics. Because Mike was asking about the yellow too. Dang. Can't remember what they were called. :(

He is absouletly gorgeous.
His head pattern is EPIC in itself. :rolleye2:

Some of the Kofiu locality stay very yellow. And there is a specific "Canary" line that is at least part Kofiu and some designer lines mixed in that produces extreme high yellow adults - these are very coveted. But many of the other high yellow designer lines, although still coveted, are more attainable. My adult male is a HY line so he can/has produced very high yellow offspring despite being very green himself. :gj:

Just google "high yellow green tree pythons" and you'll see some amazing animals.....

See I know nothing about GTPs, but they have definitely sparked my interest lately!!

Oohhh! Do eet! They are SO cool. It was love at first sight for me with my little guy. And Evenstar, as always, is full of tons of useful, helpful information, thanks! :)

How do they change colors??? Do they change color at every shed or scale by scale or do they kinda fade or do a color shift???
Hence - doing a pictorial with dates would help teach us neophites. I find the process very interesting.

I am actually going to make a thread that will follow him through his color change. At around a year of age they change. And they all change at their own rates. This book is an awesome resource, I would highly recommend it if you plan on getting a gtp. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0976733455

Thanks DoLittle! I actually have one. I've had it for about 5 months now and was told it was a year and a half old when I got it. It wasn't a 'rescue' but I don't think it was getting the best of care when I got it. I'm still trying to learn as much as I can. This book will be on my 'get' list ASAP.


Thanks again.

If you have a kindle, their version is much cheaper. But kind of a pain to use it on a kindle.
