Epic's journey

Absolutely BEAU-tiful snake! How long does it normally take for GPTs to go from yellow/red to the green colors?

Thanks!

It really varies from animal to animal. But they typically start around a year old. It can be as quickly as overnight, or I've also read of people saying theirs took a year or more to complete their color change. I think I read that the yellow neos can change much more quickly than the reds ones.

I love how he looks now! The blues are really awesome.

I'll miss the yellow epic tho. Does anyone else wish GTPs didn't change colors? I love the yellow/orange/maroon colors they are as babies

Yeah, as awesome as he looks now, I'll miss the yellow too. Doolil and I were talking about that last night. She likes him now, as well as will miss the yellow too. I guess you could say it's bittersweet.

Ok, more Epic photo bomb. Here is the next days color progression. The blue is making its way up his body. It's about 3/4 the way up as of last night, and, he appears even greener.

Never mind the dirty tub, that's why he was out. He crapped up his tub, lol.










Check out that little tail!












You can see how the blue is moving up/comparison good In this picture. Where it hasn't reached up his neck, is right next to where it is on his body.


I love this picture!


Thanks for looking!

He's looking great! The comparison shot is really showing his progression.

The little tail is probably my favorite part of tree pythons! I love him

Just checked out the whole thread. Awesome. I should do this with my Dominican Red Mountain Boa. She should make a crazy transformation from brown to fire engine red over about a year. Already has a ton of red on her neck and belly. Do these get a light and dark phase like the DRMB's? Mine literally goes from dark chocolate brown to a light red/beige.

No, they aren't like boas where they have dark/light phases. They just go through a one time color change. From their neonate color or either yellow or red (or varying shades of red/brown), to their adult colors. Which depend upon their locale, and each individual, to different shades of green with yellow, white, or blue.
