Today is a huge day for me. When I was a kid, I remember seeing Green Tree Pythons in books and magazines and just being blown away by them. Even after years of keeping and breeding other snake species I put off getting into the Green Tree Pythons until about five or six years ago.
Well, now some of the babies I got back then have reached breeding age so I took a crack at it this year for the first time. Unfortunately my first pairing of yellow Manokwari led to 20 infertile eggs, but this second pairing led to 19 perfect eggs which all ended up being red babies. After the last few days of them dropping off, I am now down to 14 babies. Definitely not in the clear yet, but I’m starting to see them perch and become more active, so hopefully the remaining group will keep on going.
Here are a few pictures as a sneak preview of the clutch. I will definitely be getting a ton more photos of these as time goes on and I see who survives. Big thanks to Patrick Holmes for all of the advice and reassurance.
