As a Neonate, my opinion probably won't count for much, and the GTP enthusiasts will howl me down, but I'm game to stick my head up!!

GTP's are probably one of the most spectacular I've seen in my short life as a herper, but they don't DO anything - I've seen a few now, but I've yet to see one actually move!



Look great, expensive, but not much fun!!! (Like some men I've known)!!
Just cause you're a neonate means nothing,i would be having a hypothetical guess that half the members here have never seen a gtp,or handled one and observed them in captivity.

I have seen some that to me looked very ordinary to say the least,and are just a green carpet imo,but,i have seen a few spectacular examples of this species unfortunately none being true Australian greens.The ones i have seen and handled varied quite a lot even within siblings from the same parentage.

I have to agree that they really don't get around much but a nice specimen makes a lovely display animal.I'd prefer to spend my$$$$ on some albinos or nice jungles rather than greens,although if i knew i could get a specific bloodline showing the same traits as i've had the priveledge to see and handle i would jump at the chance...just my opinion and we all have our own specific tastes.I think a lot of hqat makes these guys desirable in the first place is their $$$ value..if they cost so much well geeez they must be bloody nice then!!
