My Kofiau Pair

I have no experience with gtp's but I always thought pure kofiau islands always stayed fully yellow into adulthood? Nice green trees though either way!

Beautiful chondos sir!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

No, unfortunately not really. There are some nice blues that come out of Kofiau as well and all Kofiau GTPs can turn green anytime in their adult lifes. Happens a lot with females when breeding hormones kick in.

Great lookers! I've only had one and Im a hands on keeper, needless to say a lot of blood was shed.

They are quite bitey, especially if you try to pick them up from perches at night. That also stresses them a lot. One way to do it is to remove the perch with the snake and let them treat you like a branch. That works a lot better.

Fed them yesterday, great eaters. I will have a nice video next week.

Thanks! Those markings have a purple tinge as well, really cool.

I think I shot a very cool video this week of the yellow Kofiau Morelia viridis... I need to use this camera more for video it seems:
