Possibly. I would have to find a local breeder and stuff. My local reptile shop sells them as well so i could check their sizes as well as online. I got plenty of time though as Pat is still on large fuzzy mice.

Re: Pat the baby biak green tree python
All of mine have always eaten rats. The one GTP I ended up keeping is a pretty petite girl and eats small rats, but the next time I order I'm going to bump her prey size up a bit. I remember someone on the forums years ago that fed a hamster once per month. As for being fragile...mine have always been pretty hardy. I had a subadult WC biak I got at a show years ago that ate about an hour after her 5 hour car ride home. She was pretty gnarled...big scar on her side, had to help her get rid of some parasites, but she never missed a meal and was very easy to handle (which was good for me cause she was huge). I'm far more worried about getting my new bp to eat than any GTP I've ever had. I think out of 9 GTPs only 1 gave me problems feeding, and he was also the only one to ever bite me.
Did your little guy start to change yet?

Nope. He's still the little neon yellow worm lol.

Re: Pat the baby biak green tree python
For real. I’ve been dealing with heat index around 105*+.
Pat’s looking awesome. Someday I’ll get one. My buddy has an adult 1.1 pair. There was courting earlier this season but I don’t know if there was an absolute confirmed lock. I f he ends up with eggs I’d like to pick a snake up from him if I add another.
Also more (possible) discussion of pairing Gerald with his pure SD female(s) this season if we can coordinate it. Not gonna hold my breath but it would be super fun to collab on a high percentage super dwarf clutch with the guy that sold me/my mother my first snake when I was 10.5 years old

Here are a couple of pics of Sir Grumpalot aka Pat. He is funny. During the day if you take him out, he will huff at you if you touch him but at night, he is curious and wants to see whats going on.

Thanks. Yeah, he is getting a little chunky which is why i cut him back to every 10 days or so on food. He has pretty much doubled his length at least and about tripled his girth since i got him 7 months ago.
I was supposed to feed him last night but i've been working 6 days straight at the new job and havent had a chance so today everyone gets fed. When Pat doesnt get food, he gets 'crazy'. Last night, i came home to find him on the front perch holding on with the rear half of his body and the front half was upside down like he was trying to crawl on the roof of the cage. When he saw me, he came to the front and just stared at me with his head upside down for a min or two, then flipped his head over and looked at me lol. Such a goofy little snake. He might almost be ready for an upsize to small hopper mice now from his usual large fuzzies.
Also found out a guy at work i work with, his wife has boas and a beardie and corn snakes and had a BP. I asked him what kind etc etc but he had no idea. He said those things are hers and he wants nothing to do with them lol.

Re: Pat the baby biak green tree python

The boas and gtp and dumerils are cute when they get hungry. Caesar just finds ways to annoy me when he is hungry lol. The glass doors dont work anymore so now it is shoving the hide around or thumping the shelf all night long..../sigh

Pat nice and full with a small hopper mouse and using a pothos leaf as a pillow lol.

So I am using my day off to clean everyone's cages and i think all the commotion got Pat worked up and he thinks food is coming lol. Usually the little booger sleeps during the day with his head shoved between the bottom of the dowel and his coils lol.

And on another note, talked to Ali and she said they got the RHP from Bob and should have my cage shipped out next this week. Got the perch holders and elevated water bowl holder ordered from S3D and will just need to pick up the silk and plastics plants. Going to just use 1/2 oak dowels temporarily until i can talk to Manzanita Burlworks about some manzanita branches for perches.

So exciting can on wait to see how you set it up your enclosures always look magnificent, along with your fabulous critters. :gj:

Re: Pat the baby biak green tree python
Pat looks awesome. Is he USCB?
My guy I got a while ago is a farmed import, and hates everything. I'm thinking he's going to do better in a small dark tub instead of modified exoterra. So I'll be setting that up today.

Thanks. Pat is an import too but he is so laid back. I had the door open at night a few nights ago and looked over to find Pat outside the cage perched half on top of the open door of his Zoo Med cube and his head and top half of his body sitting on top of the light dome. He was just looking around and being curious. I went over there and he just looked at me and i used my finger like a stick and scooped his front half up and pointed his head back inside the cage at the front perch and he crawled onto it and sat there lol.
I think i got lucky. I can even reach in next to Pat and change his water and he just looks at my hand and flicks his tongue. You can tell when he gets hungry as he will get MUCH more curious at any movement in the cage like when i move a plant or put my hand in there but he never strikes. Even with food, he has to check it out first to make sure it is food, then he just grabs the mouse by the head, drops down and coils it, and then eats. He is such a polite eater unlike Caesar or the boas who are like "OMG FOOD!!! GIMME!!!!" and go bonkers.
I also think it has to do with some with how the snake is raised. I never really messed with Pat when he was settling in and more or less let him come to me on his terms. So i think it made him much more relaxed if that makes sense. I did it with all my other snakes too and now i can more or less just reach in and grab anyone and they dont care. If they dont want to be bothered, they just try and wander off lol. Pat though will hiss at me if he is having one of those days when i mess with him. Kind of funny to hear this little tiny snake hiss back when he was a baby. Now he is actually getting pretty big and is about 1.5 times the length of his 18x18x18 cube now. Ali was supposed to ship Pats new 2x2x2 cube out last week but no go. Maybe this coming week as they got the RHP from Bob and everything.
-
Man, I am jealous. I would love to have a good relationship with Jester, but I don't think he's ever going to calm down. He doesn't even have days where he's not pissed off. He just hisses and then starts striking once he wakes up. His new thing is to strike, coil his prey, then drop it just to get me away from him (it seems).
I'm afraid you might be right about the disturbance. Because I harassed him a bit while fixing around his enclosure a few times, and he's just probably had :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:ty scary interactions with me the whole time. I never really knew how a baby would be, but between him and my neonate ETB, I don't think I'll ever purchase a baby snake again.
Anyways, I enjoy following Pat's progress, so keep us informed!

Well, i got Pats AP cage and got it kind of set up. Still need to add substrate and need to call the manzanita wood place on my day off and see about some perches. Also still deciding on if i want to hang a plant from the open space on the right side and am thinking of adding a Dracenae to the plants on the ground to give some height. But overall, i think Pat is pretty happy. He spent about an hour exploring everywhere and then dropped a huge deuce on the floor in the front of the cage and now is back to being my 'ball python on a stick'.

Re: Pat the baby biak green tree python
Pat looks so amazing. Love his new enclosure. I am sure he does as well.
-
Came home from work and found Pat sleeping. Snapped a pic and i guess the air flow when i opened the cage woke him because he popped his head out and put it on his body lol. Pat is also going into shed which is why he seems kind of dull in color. And i still got no green on him yet. Maybe he will stay yellow and be my knockoff Kofiau GTP lol.

They are a blast. They stay small enough and are fairly quiet. And when you do have that itch to hold a snake, most of the time, my 2 seem ok with it Also you never know what exactly you will end up with as an adult so its likes Christmas day everyday when they start changing colors.
