green tree python

I have a year old jayapura locale gtp and I have been looking all over the place to see when they change to their adult colors and everywhere it varies from six months to 3-5 years. So is my female a late bloomer? she does have one small green scale on her head but other than that she is just a yellow year old snake. So if anyone has experience or knows about their color change let me know any info is good info.
Thanks,
Nikki

Hi Nikki,
You have a late bloomer give it time she will change, most go around 12mths but it can vary greatly.
Cheers
Adam

Age won't determine the change, the snake should change between ca. 55-60cm SVL.

what do you mean coloration for the americans?

This is the only gtp I own so couldn't tell you about all of them she is awesome extremely placid sometimes she doesn't want to get off her perch I mean she will grip hard so I have to coax her, but she is curious and laid back. You should see her in the container I feed her in, she knows It's time for a meal!!!

Sorry, I should have clarified. I've worked with Americans for years and have had to learn both Australianese and Americanese. Quite a few of our words are spelled differently; eg. colour and color. Wasn't having a dig at you
