Best Locale? Breeding question..

Jbuggs500 Oct 18, 2005 06:46 PM

Which locale would everyone say the best looking GTP's come from?? Biak's, Jayapura's, Wamena's, Lereh's, Sorong's?? Also what color babies come out the best looking as adults? Do they end up looking the same no matter what color they are as babies? Does it matter if you mix breed lets say a biak to a sorong? How is breeding GTP's compared to lets say breeding ball pythons? Obviously GTP's are aboreal... And last question can anyone post a link to a good caresheet for GTP's?
Thanks for any info

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and there are as many personal opinions as to what makes the prettiest GTP. Look at a lot of pictures and decide which types you like the best.

I love designer AND locale types and have a little bit of almost everything!!
The best place on the net to get started with extensive information on green tree pythons.

Well said! Everyone has preferences. I love my Sorong type. She's getting some really beautiful green and blues. Biaks can have some of the most spectacular color changes. The fun thing is that you never know what you'll get. It's not like a lot of snakes...if you breed that pattern or color, you'll get that. They constantly surprise. There are a lot of good books and websites out there to get information. I bought Greg Maxwell's book and got a lot of great stuff out of there. His site also has care sheets and some beautiful pictures of his designer stuff.
