What do these words mean...

I'm always just browsing around admiring the beautiful GTP's everyone owns, but I've been wondering so decided to ask, what does Biak, Aru, and Chondro mean? I also wanted to ask if there are any adult yellow tree pythons most of the ones I see will grow up to be green, my cousin said Lemon Tree Pythons are a such thing but he's sometimes a little out there. Thanks Everyone!

Biak, Aru, Jaya Pura, Sarong, ect. are all localities of chondro. These are the names of the islands that suround Papua New Guinea. Chondro is another common name for GTP.

Yes, there are mostly yellow chondros out there known as lemon trees or high yellow. They are becoming more available with more people getting offspring from adults, but still command a very high price tag. Here's a pic of a high yellow I produced a few years ago........not totally yellow, but a nice one anyway.
