Pat the baby biak green tree python

[Skyrivers]

For sure. I have a couple already to set up but waiting on moving (trying to be good) right now. Will post photos of snake room when I get the new house.

I like the yellow color too as he is neon yellow and literally looks like he glows haha. But i want to see the green too. Guess it worked out good that i got a Biak as they hold yellows and gain green. Some even keep most of the yellow and only gain a little green which would be pretty awesome. But we'll see as Biaks are just a grab bag on what you end up with.



Thanks. And be sure you have the cage and everything set up. I went through 3 cages in about 3 days for Pat. I started him out in a little 6 qt tub which he hated and grounded himself plus i had a hard time maintaining a temp gradient. So i switched him to a 25 qt tub which he liked a lot more and perched and i could do a better job at a gradient but i couldnt see him as it was a tub lol. So i said screw it and got him the Zoo Med 18x18x18 cube and he liked that too and i liked it as well. Now i got his AP cage on order which i actually changed it today from the 2x2x3 to a T5 3x2x2 with sliding glass doors, RHP and LED. I'll just go with less perches. Saw a few set ups of T5s on the GTP FB boards and after talking to a few people with them, i guess they work well so I was convinced to switch even though i still think a 3 foot high cage would be better but we'll see. Worst case, i can order a custom 3x2x3 AP cage and then sell the T5.

But anyways, be sure you have the set up all ready to go before you get the GTP. I consider myself fairly experienced with reptiles and i think i got lucky with how much moving around of cages with Pat and everything and the fact he still ate like a champ during the whole cage shiftings.

Think someone is hungry....only time i see Pat perching on the front perch during the day is when he wants dinner. Also the past few nights, he has been on the rampage lol.

Lol now as the day wears on, Pat is becoming more forward with his demand for food....maybe i need to run to the pet shop and pick up a FT fuzzy mouse......

Oh i think he has been talking to Caesar. i woke up this morning to a nice hole dug in the corner of floor of the cage as well as substrate pushed around.....I dont think Pat got the memo that GTPs shouldnt be digging in the dirt lol. Last night before i went to bed, he was all over the place climbing up on the potted plants, on the pots, down on the floor cruising around, all over the perches, shoving his head into the corner of the cage and sliding it upward. The little guy is a terror when its a day before dinner day. Like an arboreal Caesar haha.

Thanks. Me too and only took about 30 years for the dream to reach fruition lol. Pretty darn happy now though. Just gave Pat his fuzzy mouse. The minute i opened the cage, the little bugger took a shot at the air lol. Guess he smelled dinner. I showed him the food and he looked at it for a minute and did the head clamp on it with his mouth haha.

Little booger looks fairly happy now. Cant see the food in his belly as its on the back section hanging off the perch lol. He packs those large fuzzy mice down in record time. Easily one of the quickest eaters i got.

I love Pat!!
Will she change color as she grows?

Edit: I feel dumb. Something tells me they are called green tree python for reason, haha.

[Sauzo]

Thanks. Yeah, he'll change one day. Biaks can take years to change. They are the longest to change out of GTPs and some retain a lot of yellow too. I'm still waiting to find a single green scale on Pat but he is still only about 11 months old or so. So hopefully soon.
