	Green Tree Python
		The green tree python is often found coiled tightly into a “cinnamon bun” shape, looped over a branch like a saddle, with its head cradled in the middle of its coils.
		Green tree pythons have well-developed heat sensory pits along their lips which they use to locate warm-blooded prey – rodents, birds and probably bats.
		Green tree pythons live in treetops, bushes and shrubs in the tropical rainforests of New Guinea and the Cape York Peninsula in northern Australia.

	Green Tree Python - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Green Tree Python is a species of tree-dwelling python native to New Guinea, various islands in Indonesia, and the northern tip of Eastern Australia (Cape York Peninsula).
		Green Tree Pythons are arboreal snakes and inhabit jungles, bamboo thickets and monsoonal forests.
		Green Tree Pythons also have a particular way of resting in the branches of trees, as seen below they loop a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and place their head in the middle.

		Green tree pythons are appreciated for their beautiful coloring, which includes, in addition to bright light green, a variety of subtle pastel shadings, and even fl occasionally.
		Green tree pythons that are not in good physical condition sometimes seem to need additional heat in their enclosures.
		If it is necessary to move the green tree python to another perch, you can lift a front coil with a type of hook and push the snake's tail to chase them onto the hook, where they can be taken to a new perch or a flat surface.

	Corallus.com: Literature: Online Articles: emerald tree boa vs. green tree python
		The green tree python has two large nasal scales that surround the nostril that are clearly different from the other small scales on its head.
		Both green tree pythons and emerald tree boas have two enlarged bulges at the back of the head but like the head size, these bulges are more prominent in emerald tree boas.
		While emerald tree boas are almost strictly arboreal and will only feed on arboreal rodents, birds and such, green tree pythons are known quite often to forage on or near the ground for prey.

	Welcome to the Green Tree Python
		Green tree pythons live on New Guinea, the nearby Bismark Archipelago and islands scattered across the Torres Strait between New Guinea and mainland Austrailia.
		They are so well adapted for life in the trees that they hardly ever descend to the ground except to move between trees and to lay their eggs in the breeding season.
		After a few weeks the young pythons break out of their egg cases and are independent at once seeking refuge in the trees.

	Green Tree Python
		The adult green tree python is usually bright emerald green dorsally with a series of white or yellow scales along the vertebral line and a few scattered white scales on the sides.
		When the green python rests, it loops itself saddle-fashion over a branch, anchoring itself with its prehensile tail and cradles its head in the middle of its comfortably drape coils.
		The green tree python is endangered in its native countries due to habitat destruction, being poached for its skin, and hunted for food.

	chondro
		The green tree python, Morelia viridis, is a small, slender species of python, seldom exceeding six feet in length.
		This is particularly important, as these animals are well-adapted to life in the trees, and it is extremely difficult to remove a chondropython from a branch without a major effort.
		This is a little more often than most python species, and is done because brooding females may be off feed for as long as five months, and male chondropythons are notorious for prolonged hunger strikes of six months at a time or longer.

	San Diego Zoo's Animal Bytes: Python
		Because reticulated pythons, boa constrictors, and anacondas are some of the biggest snakes in the world, many people get confused about which is which.
		Small, young pythons may be attacked and eaten by a variety of birds, carnivorous mammals, large frogs, large insects and spiders, and even other snakes.
		Because of their bulk, pythons move by traveling forward in a straight line, which is known as "rectilinear progression.” This is accomplished by stiffening the ribs to provide support, then lifting a set of ventral (on the belly) scales and moving them forward so the loose ends grip the surface, pushing the snake ahead.

		Samuel McDowell (Rutgers University, NJ) also recognised the affinities between the carpet python and the green tree python although at that time the carpet python was known as Python spilotus and he left the green tree python in Chondropython.
		However, in the account on the green tree python in my guide I suggested that the taxonomic change would not be popular with herpetoculturists.

	Amazon tree boa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Amazon tree boa, Corallus hortulanus, is a close relative of the Emerald tree boa (Corallus caninus), and has been known to hybridize with them in captivity.
		Amazon tree boas generally have two color 'phases', which are genetically inherited, but are not ontogenic as with the Emerald Tree Boa and the Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis).
		The 'garden phase' refers to boas with drab coloration, mostly brown or olive, with varied patterning, while the 'colored phase' refers to animals with combinations of red, orange, and yellow coloring.
