Green Papuana

He sure looks gorgeous after his shed.

I've always wondered when I see pics on the forum of snakes in a tree; unless the tree was 6 ft or less, how did they get their snakes down?

I know my snakes, and given an opportunity to climb a tree, none of them would come down until????????

I have a couple ornamental trees and fruit trees that I keep trimmed to around 7 feet - can just let the smaller snakes have at it for a couple hours. Those won't bear his weight since this last growth spurt so he has been kept away from trees lately. He slithered up to the ligustrum nice and slow so I thought I'd let him check it out a bit - hoping he'd be content with the lower, thicker, trunk shoots. The little stinker shot straight up and by the time I laid hands on him he was anchored in pretty good.
