I keep lurking here.
I'm sorry I missed the pictures.
Thanks man. Yeah he is definitely different than my other stuff for sure. He a pretty good boy also. Hasnt taken any shots at me yet but he does get a little vocal when he doesnt want to be messed with haha. And maybe its just pythons but when he wants to go some direction, he goes, its like Caesar. Pat didnt want to play the bonding game so he hissed at me, climbed on my hand and reached out for his closest plant in the cage and crawled it. Then he turned around and stared outside for a bit and then went to sleep under his heater. Funny part is he had to climb on my hand to get to his plant to get to the inside of his cage so he did have to play the bonding game for about a minute haha.

It will be very interesting when you start posting pictures of the color change.
Lol. You know i thought about it but for some reason, their head just turns me off. Maybe its the size of it. GTPs have that smaller more slender head. But who knows. Once i get Pat his PVC cage, the 18x18x18 cube will be vacant and already set up for arboreal....it could be in the cards ;)
And yeah, no idea when Pat will change. Like i said, most people i talked to said Biaks change VERY slowly. So i expect Pat to be the little yellow ball for awhile.

I hate you Gio lol!! You got my gears turning and i started looking at more ETBs in the FB groups I'm a member of and i see not all of them have that really long wide face. So of them had pretty 'sexy' faces lol. Now I'm thinking of getting one of those instead of a Peruvian or red neo GTP lol. I mean i guess in a way you are helping me too since a Peruvian will set me back around $1000 and a red neo GTP is about the same price but it seems ETBs run around $500 or so.
But dang it!! You got me kind of wanting another arboreal snake lol.

Ha!
I'm hoping you pull the pin LOL!
Here's the thing, the fact that the species are completely unrelated but have almost exactly the same mannerisms is extremely interesting to me.

I'd love to hear about what you actually find out in keeping both species.
You have your BCC, Gina will never be equaled, unless the Peruvian is absolutely top of the line.
The ETB's are usually larger than GTP's and they are so beautiful.
I hate to fuel to your "addiction" but I can't do it, so you should LOL!

Lol. Yeah, i want an Amazon Basin ETB but they seem to be a lot harder find and considerably more expensive. I guess they are much more mellow and tolerant of handling. They also have the white line down the back with white triangles going down the side with a yellow belly. The Northern ETBs have the white lightning stripes but no white stripe down the spine. They also are much less tolerant and more prone to bite if pissed off. They have a white belly and they grow larger than the Amazon Basin ones.
And yeah, Gina is pretty nice. I'm pretty happy with her :) And thanks.
If i get one, it wont be for at least 6 months. I need to take care of some higher priced billed atm and then decide whether i want to actually get Pat his 2x2x2 or 3x2x2 PVC cage. Kind of stuck waiting for Ali and Mark at AP to figure out the pricing on the smaller arboreal cages. Once i figure that out and get some stuff taken care of, I'll look into either an ETB, GTP or a Peruvian.
Re: Pat the baby biak green tree python
Me and the hubby have made the call possibly getting either an Ammie or GTP in July at the next Repticon. Saw some beautiful Halloween phases and Biaks but I’m still torn. I really love the Red Ammies.

Bf and his dad got super lucky with their pair, they are the most tolerant ETBs I've ever met. I still can't get over how non-bitey and calm they are with handling.

I'll always push for ATBs but that's just because they are one of my favorites. Wanted to make sure you were aware the orange on a 'halloween' phase fades with age (they are a version of normal garden phase).
Red ammies are what got me into ATBs.

Yea I saw that when I was doing my research last week but it just seems so much harder to find the red Ammies unless anyone knows where to find em....okay I’ll stay off this thread and start another one. Lol I don’t wanna hijack.
