Pat the baby biak green tree python

Caught this pic of Pat surveying the floor probably hoping a mouse wanders by. Little guy always wants food. I think he might be getting a little chubby lol.

Pat found a new sleeping spot. The pothos are growing fast and starting to create all kinds of places for Pat to hang out around. When i changed his paper towels today as he took a piss last night, i guess i woke him up as he poked his head out from under the leaf and tracked my hand lol. I was waiting for him to zap me but he just sat there and ended up curling back up. Guess i didnt smell like a little F/T mouse.

Most people say for neos. something like a 6 qt tub or so. But i got Pat in a 18x18x18 Zoo Med cube. Really depends on on the snake. Some dont take well to lots of room while others are fine with.

As for adults, i was told males can use a 2x2x2 cube and females a 3x2x2. I do plan to get Pat a 4x2x3 though maybe this summer. Really depends how much he grows before the end of summer. He's still just a baby neo, just cracking the 18 inch mark based on him stretching out in his cube.

They are pretty entertaining. Nothing like a retic but much more relaxing lol. I can just sit and watch Pat at night and he plays all over. He seems fairly oblivious to me unless i wiggle the corner of a paper towel near him. Then he immediately turns and looks at it lol.

Heck i want another GTP. Want to put together another little Zoo Med cube and get me a red neo :D

I committed to no more new snakes for the year after I got a new dumeril's boa in January. But this face - it erodes my willpower.

Haha yeah, it is cute one. He always is poking around the front at night. A lot of times he will hang on with his tail on the left side plant and see how far out across the cage he can stretch. A few times, he has taken a swan dive too lol. At night, he is so crazy. All over the place getting into every little spot he can find. Then come morning, he is a slug usually sleeping under his new spot on the lower perch under his pothos leaf since the old one has grown pretty good now and offers all kinds of little hiding places.

Well, i decided to buck the trend and use Reptichips as substrate. Hopefully Pat likes it. Gonna play heck trying to find poops in it lol. Also added a front perch as Pat is a ball of energy at night so decided to give him something else to climb on as well. Pat got all worked up when i tore his cage apart. He moved across his back top perch and watched me work. Then when i was done, he came to the front, looked at his new perch and poked his head outside the cage, then turned around and went back in and back to his sleeping spot on the back left of his top perch. Anyways, here is the new set up.

I think Pat digs his new front perch. This was set up to be a good pic except Pat hid his head behind his plastic plant at the last minute haha. He is definitely filling out as he was a little toothpick when i got him.

Got a better pic of Pat as he is out like clockwork since the lights went out in the cages. It's amazing how much the little worm has grown in just the 3 months I've had him.

Here are pics from tonight.

His perches now are 1/2 inch oak dowels. When i brought him home, he was using plastic coat hangers at first then a couple days later, i switched him 3/8 inch perches.
