Brick red green tree pythons

[Bricked]

I am interested in getting a green tree python, but i really want a brick red one. About what age the it lose its coloring? if i mated to GTPs that were red at childhood, would that increase the likerlyhood of the children of them being red in coloration?

Bahahahahahahahahhahahaahahahahhahahahaaha

Now come on thats not being nice

No comment, but i will only say what i know, GTP's will either be born with a beautiful maroon red or a fluro yellow, which changes at around the one year mark (?) there is no way you can get a Green tree python to keep that same red colouration throughout its life, but some GTP's will turn a nice blue colour at maturity.

fake account, anyone ?

 

[Bricked]

er.... not a fake account. any way, good to how unhelpful you've all been..

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.

 

[wiz-fiz]

would u b able 2 breed them so that they stay that colour 4 longer? by line breeding the ones that are the desired colour 4 the longest b4 they start changing 2 green? it would take years tho.

no one is encouraging new people to post on this forum. or even people like me who have been a member for years but hardly post due to replies exactly like these.
shame shame
there is no dumb question, only dumb answers, and plenty of them here

I agree with you Tahnee

Bricked, at the age of one most green tree pythons change from yellow or red (not native)become a green colour. You might be able to but it would take years like Will said.

I am interested in getting a green tree python, but i really want a brick red one. About what age the it lose its coloring? if i mated to GTPs that were red at childhood, would that increase the likerlyhood of the children of them being red in coloration?

G up?? Maybe at least learn to spell before trying to breed green tree pythons.

All baby GTP's lose their red or yellow colour at around 12 months old.
Yes, if you mated 2 that were red babies you have an excellent chance of the babies being red.
Please don't believe that all yellow babies are native aussie GTP's as this is simply not true. Where some people are getting confused is the fact that to date no native aussie GTP has produced (nor have any been found in the wild) a red baby therefore it is accepted that our natve GTP's only produce yellow babies. In PNG where GTP's are also found there are plenty of localities where the babies are yellow and a few where the babies are red.

Bricked if you like the look of the REDDISH type of snakes we have in Australia ...and your keen on finding out more about them ,and probably suit the budget a bit better then a GTP ....
look at the BROWN TREE SNAKES and the BREDLI PYTHON ....you can get very brick red colours ....

 

[Costa]

yeah i want i bredli when i move out of home
they are beautiful pythons and very nic colouring

Just a few maroon-red photos of a Chondro

Brick red GTP babies are mostly from the Biak Locality Type (I have also noticed that High Yellow lines seem to have brick red babies, perhaps because most high yellows originate from Biaks?), other maroon babies are from different localities of PNG, they often have yellow siblings. As has been stated, Aussie Green babies have no other colour than yellow. Yes the colour change happens at about one year of age, but its the size of your animal that determines the change. David Wilson studied Aussie Greens in the Iron Range for several years and never found a yellow animal over 60cm. From my experiance a snake thats a good feeder from the start and fed a moderate size meal weekly, will change at more like 10 months.

If you had two red babies and bred them as adults, yes you are more likely to have more red babies from their clutch.

Cheers,
Andrew

I absolutly had no idea that even red gtp's where native!!

They are not. Biak is an area of Papua New Guinea

It will increase the chances of having Red or even Blue hatchlings in your clutch as the colour is formed from good blood lines...
