green tree python

[nikay11]

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

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

Still got a lot of the juvenile colouration (coloration for the Americans). Here's hoping

 

[nikay11]

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

You might be lucky and it will stay that colour, they can start to change at anything from 6 months onwards.

Soooooo nice.
Are they really the price of a small car in Australia? The only ones I have seen advertised are about 14k. What about over there in USA?
Good night/good nite.
