I purchased an adult GTP about 6 months ago. I was told it was a Biak about 18 months old. Sex unknown. It was being fed 3 adult live mice a week and still had pieces of shed on different parts of its body. I took it home, cleaned its stinky cage and replaced it's skinny perch with another twice the size (which I think is still too small - I'm still learning here). I have been feeding it small rats every week and it has had two complete sheds since I've had it. I've noticed some of the scales along its sides and around its face have turned blue. The same blue color as the BP.net banner above. Would this color change be an indication of its sex? I understand that some female GTPs turn blue when they are ready to have sex - some more so than others.
I don't know that much about GTPs and I've been trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can, so I do right by mine (it's name is Puffers).
Oh, Puffers is about 5 feet long and very happy now. Still would prefer I not handle it, but I insist most of the time.
