Pat the baby biak green tree python

[Sauzo]

My cousin hooked me up with someone breeding for fun. I'm still not sure he was the right person to get from even though he was really nice and took good care of his snakes but if I did it over again I would definitely save $1000 for a quality US captive bred from a top breeder. This species and most breeders are not taking the precautions they should. Mine is doing good so far but had a health hiccup and required a vet visit. Thankfully she has a clean bill of health and the vet is amazing enough to treat her properly but it really has made me paranoid lately. Once I get a few feeds and poops under her, I will relax.

Trust, me you want to get a fecal as soon as you are comfortable taking yours in, it's worth it to get a clean parasite bill of health.

Oh i forgot to ask, what hiccup in health did your little guy have? I'd be worried about such a small fragile snake having to go to the vet.

Woah! I caught Pat actually out on a perch during the day! It's like the second coming of Jesus. I usually only catch him on perches at night. And dang they digest as fast as retics lol. Pat had that monster lump Monday from the fuzzie mouse that was a little too big(woops) and now the lump is gone lol. Waiting to find a nice size BB poop on the cage floor. He has definitely filled out nicely and is getting that nice triangular round look instead of the high triangle look

Hey if you are looking for a hand mister that works great, I just got this in and have been loving how easy it mists

Thanks. I just use a regular spray bottle set on the mist lol. Does the job and cost me like $3.

LOL I was too but got tired of having to squeeze the trigger so I got this. 10x better that the spray pump

Well, Pat was sleeping on his plant this morning after a hard nights cruising all over last night lol. So i gave him a good misting and i guess it woke him up. He then couldnt decide if the plant was still a good spot or the perch was better. So it looks like he went 50% in on both lol. Such a goofy little guy. Last night he was seeing how high could stand up in a corner from the floor and took a huge piss.



Well, looks like the perch won out lol.

Thanks. And the most exciting part is the little guy is a machine at night. He rivals Caesar on a hungry night...or Dottie on any night haha. He drops to the floor and cruises around. Sits on the edge of the deli cups and plays scuba diver, Goes up on the live plants and sits on them and his perches. Sits on top of the elevated water bowls. Sits half on 1 perch and half on another. He is just gogogo all night long haha. Then come morning, i usually find a piss and/or poop on the floor somewhere haha. Guy pisses as much as Caesar. I'm pretty much changing his paper towels every other day. Here's a new pic of him getting ready for lights out and his night long escapades. You can see the excitement building

Totally agree! I got tired of them breaking too.

I've had this one since 2014 and use it daily. It is a dream for my ETB and GTP.

Great looking GTP! I'm glad you finally got one. I know you've wanted one for awhile.



You might try to add a branch over the perch to give it a bit of cover. Both my GTP and ETB perch under their branches and are very rarely in the open on the perch during the day but both perch all day. I bet if you could add some cover to the front of the tank it would work too. Just something to make it seem as if he is hidden and make him more comfortable with being out on his perch.
