a member of my family was up working at lockhart river and asked the kids in the school about these green tree pythons and how often they are seen.it depends on the time of the year but he had one in front of him in 20 minutes.in 2001 a mate wanted to see a gtp.it had been fairly wet and a perfect time as he saw 9 in 2 nights[none of them up high]6 yellow juvies and 3 adults.adults were all on the ground.for 2 nights he saw nothing until he was told what 2 look for and then there they were.i don't know anywhere i can find in 2 nights 9 scrubby's or brown trees and they are the most plentiful species up here.according to lockhart murries they are plentiful and found in lakefield national park[northern] as well.a mate of mine this year who is a npws ranger found 2 near the the ranger staion[iron range] while he was there.ARE THEY LISTED AS ENDANGERED?.they belong where they are.captive colony when there is a problem ,i agree.but they are still seen all the time by locals.i believe there is no need at present.
