This is a newly found form of green tree python. It is reportedly from the island of Kofiau which is part of the Boo Islands. It is situated north of Misool Island off the western coast of Papua. According to reports, some of these specimens retain the yellow color throughout their lives. In our experience some do develop a few green scales scattered over the body and some develop a light green "wash" over the entire body. These typically have bright yellow eyes and some animals develop lavender dorsal and tail markings. The throat and ventral scales of the neck also display yellow coloration. Scattered white scales can also be found on some individuals. Only time will tell if these incredible looking snakes actually retain these bright yellow colors throughout adulthood. We have acquired a small group of these unique animals and hope to be producing offspring in 2006.
