Green Tree Python Where Do They Live
The Green Tree Python lives in areas where there are less human inhabitants and so most people will never get a chance to see one up close. They are very colorful though and that is what gains them lots of attention. They become very docile in captivity and need special care in captivity.
New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia are the places where this snake is found. However, there are many smaller populations of them out there all over the place that have been identified. Since they blend in so well it is hard to know how many of them are really out there.
They live in trees, forest regions, and tall grasses. In some locations their habitat continues to be taken away. Efforts by humans including logging continue to clear out areas where they live.
The color of the Green Tree Python is a lime green that can be light or dark in color. It has a light white or cream coloration on the belly. They may have a yellow color too depending on their habitat. For that reason though they are often mistaken for other species of snakes. Sometimes they even have blue tint to them. They can be up to 6 ½ feet long when they are fully mature.
