About the Green Tree Python
The Green Tree Python is a striking, arboreal snake best known for its vivid emerald-green coloration and graceful, coiled resting posture. Adults are typically bright green with small white or yellow markings along the spine, while juveniles hatch in dramatically different colors—often yellow, orange, or red—before gradually transitioning to green.
