Definate Green Tree Python Colour change! :)

[CodeRed]

A couple of mine have started changing this week. I am interested to hear how big each persons GTPs are when they start the colour change. These two are 7 months old and 85 and 100 grams respectively.

Yeh fidz,ile feed them a pink mouse a week when i read the book,been meaning to get it off of the herp shop,the maxwell smart one with the black spotted blue ones i like them.

 

[fidzy]

i have it, great book. i feed based on his recommendations

 

[CodeRed]

fidzy no way does maxwell recommend feeding pinkies for 7 month olds. Thats like you eating a tic tac. Maxwell says feed a prey item that makes a noticeable (but not huge) lump.

 

[fidzy]

no i was talking about timeframe between food. for example 5 days apart between food etc. i am feeding fuzzies not pinkies now.

 

[silkston]

Has anyone experianced there GTP not feeding once they purchased it, my arrived on a plane a while ago & is 6 months old and I know the transition can stress them out, but i have been doing everything the breeder has said but it is still refusing to eat.

 

[Greenmad]

mate make sure you are keeping it higdrated and i did have this happen to me but after about a month the little guy ate. has it shed since you had had it.

 

[silkston]

Yeh is is kept hydrated, no he has not shed since I have had him and I thought he should maybe have had one by now, it has been nearly 2 months he is still healthy and am keeping the breeder informed, but just really frustrating and thought it wont hurt to ask other opinions.

 

[Greenmad]

mate keep trying mate sure your temps are good and stay in contact with that breeder

 

[bredli-sli]

hey i dunno much about gtp's but ive seen some where to scent the rat or mouse with either a frog or geco's?

 

[gecko-mad]

have i said it yet? awsome!

 

[fidzy]

silkston, what are you feeding and how ???

 

[silkston]

Fidzy, am attempting to feed small fuzzy mice with pair forcepts, but not interest

 

[anntay]
