We are trying to determine the cutoff list for the kingsnake.com classifieds as to what pythons should be allowed/required to be
posted in the Tree Boa & Python Classifieds. If a python species/subspecies is primarily an arboreal species it will need
to be posted in the Tree Boa & Python Classifieds. If it is primarily a terrestrial species it will need to be posted to the
Python Classifieds (unless it is a Ball Python, which belong in
the Ball Python Classifieds section). While we are aware that
some snakes spend time both on the ground and in the trees,
we are asking for YOUR input to determine what the cutoff should be.

Besides the Green Tree Python, what other pythons would be considered arboreal for our cutoff list?

This is a tough one. There are MANY species that could be considered both, such as........Jungle Carpets, White Lips, Diamonds, and a couple of others. While it seems the should be considered terrestrial snakes, in my experience, jungle carpets and white lips both will spend about 50% of the time on ground and on a perch. I'm kind of curious now, on what others think about this as well. I know a lot of keepers don't even offer perches to their any of these snakes. Believe me, they use them quite often.
