Pat the baby biak green tree python

[Sauzo]

And he's so happy, his markings are a goofy smiley face on the top of his head

Very nice indeed !!!

So where is the red one ?

I went to the Bessette's for one GTP and left with two.

LOL. I just could not only get a red or yellow, it was so difficult to choose !!

I like the look of the substrate much better, will smell better, too !! When I had my 2 babies on paper towels they sure could stink up the entire room. If you find cleaning (and finding poop) difficult, try Reptile Prime instead. Still looks beautiful but easier to spot clean for sure.

Pat is to cute

[tttaylorrr]

wow, they've grown so much!!! i always thought you'd lose them in that big enclosure one of these days, hahaha. they're definitely filling out nicely. i always love Pat updates.

Thanks and lol, not getting a red one yet. I need to space out my excitement as I am reaching the limit on 'excitement' i can bring in the house haha.

And yeah, i might order a brick or bag or whatever that Reptile Prime comes in and try it. So far Pat seems to like the Reptichips. i caught him the last 2 nights down on the floor digging in it lol. It was like i had a skinny yellow boa for about 30 mins. Then he went in his water bowl to scuba steve it up and then back up top. He actually laid down relaxing on it next to his water bowl last night for about 30 mins.

I was a bit worried when i first got him the cube but now i wish i would have gone one size up lol. After lights out, it seems kind of small for him. Think i might just go for an AP 3x2x2 instead of the 4x2x3. Most people have told me that the 3x2x2 would be a better size for a GTP. Still think with that size, i would be able to set up a nice set up with Manzanita perches, 2 big pothos and a bunch of hanging silk vines for Pat to swing from lol.

And thanks, i like taking pics of Pat. He is such a character at night.

We have a breakthrough!! I was changing the tinfoil on Pat's top as i changed over to a UTH on the side of the cage thinking it would hold more humidity longer while still giving a gradient. It failed. So i went back to the little Nano CHE in the back corner as that worked the best this whole time and gave Pat an awesome gradient.

Well while i had the top off and was redoing it, I look over and see Pat sitting on the rim of the top stretched out looking around. I decide now is as good of time as any to see if Pat is going to be the evil Biak or a nice Biak. I slowly put my hand under him and he took to it like a baby duck to water. He flicked his tongue and checked me out and then crawled right onto my arm and hand. My arm hairs kind of confused him so he was happier on the hand lol. But i was able to walk over and get the camera with him calmly sitting on my hand looking at stuff as we walked by. After a few mins, i opened the front door and showed him his middle perch and he decided to curl up on the top one while i worked on the finishing the cage top. I think i might get lucky and have a non killer Biak lol. Awesome first bonding between us. And it was at night even!! But he does get fed every 5-6 days so he isnt starving or anything.

Well, we got breakthrough number 2. Pat was being his active little self so i opened the door and left it open to see what happened. Well, curious Pat came down to the open door and hang outside looking around. I slid my hand under him as he was half out the door and kind of just lifted him up and he just sat on me. Held him for a couple mins to just let him get used to being held but not long enough to stress him. I think put my hand on his top perch and he sat half on my hand and half on the perch. This is great except it's at night time as during the day, Pat is sleeping and gets kind of grumpy when you wake him. But now i can start working with him probably twice a week for a few mins at a time and just slowly extend the time and distance, i take him out of the cage.

Good to see Pat is still going strong. It almost looks big enough like you can start to reduce feeding to after a defecation now.

Thanks. Yeah, he gets fed every 7 days now although I'll sometimes sneak him a meal 5-6 days in. He usually goes poop within 4 days if it's a bigger meal like a fuzzy mouse but if it's a pinkie, he will sometimes wait until the second one to go poop.

How is Ganja doing?

You are SOOOOOO smitten with that little guy, I love it

Should create a picture book "The adventures or Sauzo and Pat"


Did you know that there is actually a childrens book based on a GTP ? I think that is cool

Lol thanks. And yeah, Caesar, Gina, Rango and Pat are little characters, well Caesar is a big character lol.

And yeah, a guy on FB said Pat looks just like the snake in the GTP picture book. I forgot the name though now as he just said the name and when i was like "huh?'. He told me to google the name and i found the kids book on it haha.

He was out in force tonight again but i silenced him with a nice juicy water injected fuzzy mouse. He ate it and is happily curled up on his top perch now kind of by the heater just relaxing lol.
