#JAYAGTPFH0927_A

Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis) (Jayapura)

Captive bred and hatched September 2008

The locality, of which these beautiful gtp's names came from, is a town called Jayapura. Jayapura, also known as Djajapura lies in eastern Indonesia and is the capital of Irian Jaya (Papua). This beautiful chondro-rich region rests at the foot of the Cyclops Mountains on the northern coast of New Guinea. While Indonesians may know Jayapura for it's major trading port, we as chondro locality enthusiasts know it as a region that has yielded a very unique variation to the "mainland" chondro type. The parents of these beauties exhibit strong blue dorsal striping and have a very clean overall green tone as compared to many other mainland types. If you like blue, the Jayapura is for you! :) The Jaya's can exhibit both ontogenic colorations of yellow or red and these yellow beauties exemplify the best of the best! These babies appear (from limited handling) to be quite even tempered and hammer their thawed pinkies with gusto!

As always when dealing with Frantz Herpetological you can expect a smooth and effortless transaction. Rest assured we will stand behind our animals, guarantee their health, lineage, AND that they feed.
