The red has nothing to do with aposematic colouration (pretending to be dangerous) but the red babies live amongst wines and colourful foliage (presumably different to Iron Range flora). M
So the Tree Boas and GTPs,what other species has offspring that goes through the colour change..With the data that you collected,was there anything that surprised you at all.So in your opionion do you think something triggers the colour change,not just the hatchie getting older.As i had a fussy eater that was forced fed for 12months,once i got it to my place it ate the first night,it was not much bigger then a hatchie,was around 30-40cm..It ate 6 straight meals then shed,after another 3 meals it began to change colour..At this stage it was around 50-55cm,but 14months old..Now its 110cm it has doubled in size since October 09...It's an interesting concept and I really don't want to go into it here (it would compromise the article). I think the million dollar question will remain unanswered for a long time yet. It's not unique to GTPs, Emerald Tree Boas and other species have different colour offspring. I am more interested in what triggers the colour change, it's a physiological process that's either triggered by hormonal activity or some environmental influences. As you may know, I kept a number of juveniles from 2008 and 2009 clutches for 1 year to get some solid data on the OCC. The results are interesting.
The ones that are red as babies are PNG Green Tree Pythons and the ones that are Yellow as bubs are Australian Native Green Tree Pythons... so I believe... Correct me if I'm wrong.
