alright guys,
a certain suburb on the northern beaches has a history of Green Tree Pythons being found in people backyards since as long as 20 odd years ago, when some of my neighbors were spending their younger years playing in the bush. two doors down is a guy who has spoke to me about 'many years ago' catching three very young green tree pythons, at that age being vibrant yellow orange, at one little stream on one side of the suburb. and he called Taronga Zoo who emediately was delighted to take them, and agreed because their not local its better they take them. or, they wanted a new attraction t the zoo of free very expensive snakes.
another neighbor says that the house to the left has an adult who regularly can be seen, and is clearly a GTP (the guys a herper too) and an extremely intelligent man. (im talking three thick novels a week)
i know i know, pics or it didnt happen. im praying for the day he comes over and says... wanna come see the GTP... then i will bring photo's..
it seems very unlikely that someone would dispose of a GTP into the bush, let alone two (m/f) or a gravid female. the chances to me are way too slim. im guessing its very isolated patches of moist streams and thick bush were these Gtp's seem to be surviving. but why on earth are they so far south...??? i always thought they were upper north Queensland.. not Sydney.
any thoughts?
