Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I currently own many Ball Pythons and usually lurk over in that forum. But for as long as I've owned Ball Pythons I've also loved Green Tree Pythons-just never owned one. And like the poster below, I am considering buying one. I am particularly partial to the ones that are brick red at birth, I think they are one of the most beautiful snakes I have ever seen. There is just so much information on Ball Pythons (books, videos, etc.), what would you consider the best source of information on keeping GTP's and what advice would you give to a first time potential owner?

Don't go looking for snakes--you might find them.

I currently do not own a GTP but i have been doing very much research on them and found out that their are several species of them all named after the region or city that they are found by. Almost all Chondros turn green when they are adults except the kofiau species who has a tendency to stay yellow as adults. I know the jayapura species is mostly red as babies as well as the wamena that is a reddish brown black.

The More Complete Chondro by Greg Maxwell.
I would recommend purchasing your first chondro from a known breeder in U.S.
The Maxwell book is good, but you'll have a ton of questions after the purchase...most of which only the breeder can answer.

Well the best book by far is the more complete condro by greg maxwell. Its around 60 bucks which is not bad at all. You will enjoy it very much and it has tons of info and color photos. Gtp are amazing.
