miki00 Jul 31, 2004 10:12 AM

Hey, im planning of getting a GTP soon. I've been reading care sheets and information about them. But what i can't find is the sub-species of them, can someone explain me that, or where could i find some information about them.
Thanks

As far as I know(names change everday), there are no subspecies of the green tree python-Morelia Viridis. There are various localities that have subtle differences, but none have been declared a subspecies...yet. Correct me if I'm wrong.

No, I don't think there are any sub-species. There are different charachteristics of different populations but those are only localities. If you are looking for localities the only ones with notable differences are Biak and Aru.

Yeah, that's what im refering to!
What are the diferences between them? and what are their characteristics?
