Greg I saw a pic of your lemons! Please give us some up dated info on what happening with these. I've seen many gtp's advertised as lemons but none compair to the pics of yours.

Here's the 2003 offspring from Greg's pair. It's gaining very few green scales as of now, I'll have better pics later. I'm glad to say that it's a very strong little critter...

Great pic. Thanks to Greg's advise I'm waiting on my first clutch to hatch. After that I'll be interested in one of Gregs lemons. So if you get tired of that one just let me know. LOL.

Tim Turmezie is the man which coined the name "Lemon Tree" for his bloodline of high yellow green tree pythons. As Turmezie explains to me he produced 5 clutches, 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998 and 2000 from an original 1.2 trio which he acquired as hatchlings back in the early 1990s. The male of this trio is an attractive high yellow animal. One female is green with a bit of yellow. The second female has become the type which is blue after being gravid. Turmezie grew many of his original offspring to adult coloration.

I'm just a hobbyist which happen to buy Turmezie's highest yellow breeder holdbacks a few years back. I've bred this pair a few times, but have only managed two offspring. I hope to see more offspring at some point. Here's a picture of the older of the two offspring. She's a 2001 animal which is now an adult. Sorry, no glamour shot. LOL I expect her to go light in color like the mother after a few hopeful clutches of her own.

The other offspring is from 2003 and is the one in the picture which Alex posted.

Greg, That is one beautiful lemon!! Next clutch you hatch put me on the waiting list.
