GTP Dream Come True

After procuring my first GTP, Victor, about a year ago, I had this idea in my mind about the perfect GTP - vibrant green, lots of white (but not too much), with blue, and some yellow. It's slim pickins here in Canada and I did not expect to find such a snake, or that I'd have to settle for "good enough".

This weekend I found her (a female to boot!) sub adult, CH from Indonesia but eating very well.

A wee bit underweight, but she's eating and has just been wormed so I don't foresee that being an issue. She is a bit strikey, too, but only when you mess about near her head.

Sorry, just wanted to share my excitement :)

This is Victor, her maybe someday boyfriend:

I love how there is a blue line running down Victor's spine that outlines his white spots! Those two are going to make beautiful babies someday :gj:

greeeeeennnn...




with envy nice:gj:

Wow, beautiful.
You aren't kidding about Canada being slim pickings... :(

Tell me about it... there's two or three serious breeders that I know of and a couple of those don't really deal in specific just looks other than "green". Which is fine for them but I'm fussy ;)

Love that aru, nice pick up. I've been looking for a male aru for awhile but haven't had much luck.

She's stunning! Good luck with the pair.

Sweet Pair! Good luck!

BEAUTIFUL! Once I have mastered Ball Pythons I plan on stepping up to GTP's!

GTP's are just sooooooooooooo gorgeous and your snakes are just stunning!

I love 'em.

Very nice. She looks like a good weight for a 1.5 or 2 year old animal. Green trees are not meant to be fat or even plump. They are muscular animals.

Kristan. if you're near the lower parts of the US pm me about a male Aru. If you're going to breed that is. Might do a loan.

Oh man they are both awesome! That is my dream snake species! I just want one to look at. I think they are the most beautiful snake! I'm just a tad frightened of them after reading/hearing about their temperament.

Not that I know of. "Rob McRobbie" is one breeder, you can find him on Repticlic and Reptiles Canada.

Port Credit Pet Centre often has youngsters available. They are a pet store but I've seen some very nice GTPs at their table during shows. Just make sure you treat for mites!

Norm at Dino Reptiles has some adults that he plans on breeding within the next couple months. He is at dinoreptiles.com. His female is VERY nice.

Lastly, a friend in Montreal has a pair of STUNNING Jayapura sub-adults. They are CH imports, though, but in great shape. PM me if you are interested.

Gorgeous GTP's! I just love these snakes!
