morelia viridis

Curious to see how everyone ended up with scalies in their house and at what age. :) For me it is how ancient and different they are, and how successful they have been over millions of years.

What Type Is This Pretty Girl?

Hi all, I have a quick and hopefully relatively straight forward question about the price of younger GTP's from different localities. Basically, I have been offered a little one (of about 40cm's, still yellow) for $1000. Without evidence of locality, what sort of price range and differences...

Hi guys, So i have had my Woma for 6 months now and love the little guy. However it seems i have caught the bug and am finding myself wondering more and more of what my next one might be. I dont plan on getting another for another 18months but i like to be prepared and know what im getting and...

Since a lot of people seem to have trouble working out sizes needed to comply with the CoP, I've been thinking about making a spreadsheet for people to use for working it out. It could have a list of species to choose from and give the minimum requirements directly. Would people use something...

Surely it doesn't take any longer than 1 week for morelia carinata? Most morelias I've had in the past took their first feed within 2 days (unless they were going into shed when I got them). It's the first time I've had Rough scaled pythons, I recently got a pair of 6-month-olds from a reputable...

I am starting this thread to document my experience in trying a different alternative to snake mite treatment. As you may have seen, I have recently found mites on on member of my collection, but as a small GTP, he is very chemically sensitive and I do not want to risk his life with anything too...

I was just cuddling one of my scaly family members and found a couple of little insects scuttling all over him! Poor thing... He is soaking himself now in a water bowl but I was wondering: Any tips or tricks from the Pros? I am reading the help thread based on it but does anyone else have any...

A couple pics of my juvei GTP going through his colour change, he looks funny with an almost solid green head and the rest still mostly yellow. I'll be making a thread of the whole process once he's done for those that are interested. These pictures were taken while he was close to...

Hey guys. my placid Atherton jungle python is 3 year old male. Around 6ft. The tank is 4ft wide x 3ft high x by 2ft deep. Is there any other reptile or even python that could share the space with him? Or is this a bad idea? What would happen if I chucked a lizard in or a juvenile python? Need...

Hey guys, being in Darwin I have a great opportunity to see some rare or not very commonly kept captive reptiles. Fortunately I have been given the opportunity to purchase a "rare" or not so common albino Olive python hatchling this coming breeding season. My question is is the asking price of...

Hey everyone, my GTS has just had his first shed and I feel like he spend most of his day trying to get out of his enclosure :(. I handle him daily and take him out into the sun each morning but he still does this. I do change the environment of the enclosure and add new and differs style...

I'm not sure what the albino gtp's truly look like do they stay yellow like when they're hatchlings or are white and yellow when they reach maturity . On that note what other reptiles you rarely see as albino , feel free to post some cool pics of some albinos , I would love to see them.

I have been told many different things on uv for my jungle. who can tell me whether it he does or does not need uv?

Here is a great little video on juvenile GTP feeding made by someone who knows a thing or two about the species. The author, Michael Cermak, has kindly given me permission to share it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMGWHNEhEjg

I'm trying to decide what would make the most use of a 5 foot long by 2 wide by 3 high wooden enclosure. It was originally for my Jungle but she's still a baby and this enclosure screams lizard. I'm at the point in construction where I must make a final choice so as to continue down the specific...

Just learned about 'prolapsing' in pythons. And I remembered my Hatchling Jungle's first bowel movement since bringing her home. Part of her bowel came out with the waste but as I watched, wondering why this was happening it slowly withdrew back into the body. She didn't seem distressed and I...

Last night I was reading in my room. I heard kind of a pop sound. I looked where it came from, I saw one of my GTP's in the middle of a bowel movement. I saw a pice of its digestive track hanging out. This was my first prolapse in over 16 years in the hobby. I immediately put the snake in a tub...

Hi, has anyone ever had any dealings with red earth reptiles from Townsville. I'm looking at buying a hatchling green tree python.

A couple more of these magnificient animals have been found. Gavin Bedford should be very happy.

Hi All It's that time of year again for the 4th annual Gold Coast Reptile Expo . The dates this year are July 13th & 14th. It would be great to get more private collectors to come and show off what they have. All private displays are free of charge. It will be held at parklands showgrounds...

Hi. I purchased a yearling gtp female approx 7 months ago from one of the well known breeders about. In the last 5 months she has developed lumps along her spine about 5 inches long upwards from her vent( I cannot upload pic but will keep trying). The breeder informs me he has had other...

Last night i upgraded one of my pythons food from pinky mice to fuzzy mice. The local stores rodent sizes has quite a large gap between the 2 sizes and I was a little worried it may be too big, but the people at the store advised me it would be ok. So I fed her her first fuzzie last night. After...
