How busy is that one? Is it a climber?

You are really on to something with that species!

Yes she is very busy and tries to climb on everything. She is so gentle. The only time she has ever struck at me was while she was in shed. I am truly looking forward to making some headway with this species in the future.

Well done! My curiosity is peaked. I wonder how these differ in habits than the Aussie Olives. These seem to be more arboreal. I know the Aussie Olives don't have a prehensile tail but they will climb.

Olives and Papuans are certainly different in looks and it appears in behavior as well.

I want to know more!!

I will post as I learn. I think the Apodora are much cooler than the Aussie olives. They look so very different. They are justifiably a separate species. I plan to get a lot more of them.

Keep us posted!

I'm digging this thread!

Your girl is looking great Rage! Do you keep Aussie Olives as well? If so, what are some of the physical and behavioral differences you've seen between the two species? Is your girl eating rodents now or does she still prefer chicks? How much/how often do you feed her?

Congrats! These are beautiful creatures!

Thanks. I thinks she looks fantastic as well. I do not keep Aussie Olives so I have no first hand experience with them. I have heard that the Aussies can be a bit more cantankerous. As far as physically the head structure is completely different. Papuans have more of a blunt bullish head whereas the Aussie olives have a longer more pointed head. My girl has not switched to rodents yet, but to be honest I haven't really tried that hard. She is eating 2-3lb chickens. And chicken drum sticks for now. Once she is out of quarantine I will be trying to switch her over. She is eating every 12 to 15 days depending on how hungry I think she looks.
