Green Tree Python!!

[Hillsberry]

I got my first GTP today at the Hamburg,PA show! :) He is a sorong locality. He is only 6 months old. He is so beautiful. I think I am going to name him Ringo, but I am not sure. Please help me come up with names for him. Thanks! :D17240

[alessia55]

Beautiful!!! Congrats!!! I was at the expo too :D Wish I'd known you were there... would've loved to meet you! Maybe next time :)

I like Ringo for a name :)

[Hillsberry]

I would have loved to meet you too! Finally got to meet Kim after 3 years! :)

[Trent]

Awesome!! Congrats!

I've known Kim in person for 3yrs and it wasn't until recently (3yrs into our friendship) that we got a photo taken together, lol. She's really great, glad you got to meet her :D

[millertime89]

Gorgeous! Mind telling what you paid?

[BarelyBreathing]

Very pretty snake. As for names, ANYTHING BUT RINGO!!! Hahaha.

[alessia55]

Did you notice the frowny/smiley face on his head? love it! :D

[DragonsEye]

Nice looking critter. How's its temperment?

[Caylan]

Good size already! Nice looking snake, heres hoping for lots of sorong blue for yuh!

[Hillsberry]

Did you notice the frowny/smiley face on his head? love it! :D

Hahahaha! I didn't notice that! Thank you for pointing that out. I hope the frowny/smiley face turns bright blue. :)

Gorgeous! Mind telling what you paid?

I paid $400 for him.

Nice looking critter. How's its temperment?

His temperament is really good. I am not going to be handling him until he is about a year old, but I did handle him yesterday and he was alert but very calm. He actually already ate and pooped last night. I am so proud. :D

Congrats on the new addition! If I get a GTP, I think it would be a sorong too.

I love the sorongs. I really hope his blues come out really nicely. :crazy:

[alessia55]

You mean they're completely blue as adults?? not green?? that would be awesome!

[Gungirl]

I believe that the yellow greens out and the tan/brown will blue out. So not all blue...

[Hillsberry]

You mean they're completely blue as adults?? not green?? that would be awesome!

No sorongs are not full blue. The little diamond shapes on his spin and head will turn blue. The rest of him will turn a lime green.

I love how they curl up so perfectly like that! He looks great, congrats :D

[Brazen17]

Great looking GTP! Seeing as you got him at an expo keep your eyes open for mites. I also bought mine at an expo and even with a good looking over and not seeing any mites at purchase I had a major infestation a few weeks later.

[Skumbo]

Wow those look amazing with the green and blue!

Definitely on the list some day :P

i cant wait to see this one change color!

[jarich]

Such beautiful snakes, congrats on the new one!

[millertime89]

Really cool! And a decent price too, congrats!

[Will0W783]

He's looking great, Hills! It was nice to finally meet you and to get to hold your new little fellow. I love baby GTPs!!

[Hillsberry]

Thanks Kim!! I love baby GTPs too! I can stare at him all day long and not get bored! He is so gorgeous! :D

[Jenn_06]

Some female GTP can turn blue while breeding and being gravid,its call hormonal blue.

and i really hope your just guessing the sex because sexing GTP before 1 year old is really dangerous.

[marvelfreak]

Congrats Hillary he is beautiful. I like the Name Ringo it's different and unique.

No I didn't not sex him. I know his is way to young to even be handled. When I showed his to Kim(Willow), she guessed he was a male but she isn't 100% sure. I am going to sex him once he is fully done with his color change and over a year old.

Nice baby GTP!

A friend of mine has bought a GTP and isn´t sure whether its a sorong, aru or else. can anyone help? :) ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/687/picpcs.jpg/)

[Edmond Y]

It doesn't looks like a Sorong to me, some designer morph call mite phase looks like yours pic.

Edmond

[Xanafein]

Looks like an Aru or Biak to me but im VERY new to the wonderfull world of Chondro localities

[Will0W783]

I would think that that is not a pure locality. It's a "designer morph" mite phase, as Edmond Y mentioned. I would think it is a combination of Aru and Biak, given the color and head shape, but I'm not 100% sure.

[Brazen17]

It can be very difficult identifying these critters. More than one expert has been surpised by the outcome of their juvenile. Either way it's a very nice GTP!

LOL so i was sorta right

[Will0W783]

I'm not sure I'm right either, lol. With GTPs, unless you have lineage papers, you can never be sure.

[Edmond Y]

One good things about those worms, regardless what localites or how they look, they are all beautiful.

[Hillsberry]

So true Edmond. I have only had my guy now for a little over a month and I have to say he is just something else. It never gets old staring at him. :)
