Black phase tree snakes

has anyone heard of these guys? do they actually exist? i dunno a heap about them but i'm talking about a black version of the green tree snakes, like the golds and blues...whatever you wanna call it lol (sounds weird saying black green tree snake ). i've seen some babies somewhere and they're kinda greeny atm and i'm wondering if black's actually exist or if it's a bit of a furfy!

Thanx guys

RE: Black phase tree snakes

I have read about them somewhere as well Zoe and have seen pics, can't remember for the life of me where though. They certainly are different though.

RE: Black phase tree snakes

Zoe, about $300 is standard i think for a common tree snake hatchie, regular greenish colour. I've seen the blue phase advertised for up to $600. There is indeed a black phase aswell but i've never seen them for sale or heard of anyone with them.
If you've got yourself onto some tree snakes would u let us know if there's more?

Hi sweet Zoe, :wink:

I have seen GTS's advertised on the HerpTrader between $300-$500 each, (ages vary 6 mth - 2 yrs old) most are blue form, and they sell within days of being put up on the listings! :wink:

Cheers, Jude

Ah, the infamous ' Yellow Bellied Black Snake', yes as already stated Black phases do exist, there can be found here around the Gold Coast and Brissie.

RE: Black phase tree snakes

well they're in a pet shop so no parents and no pics lol. i just dunno whether to trust it or not...

hey rick what do u think the bubs would be worth? and would you maybe be able to find out if they're born black or if they turn it as they get older? i'm gonna see if i can maybe get some pics of the parents.
