The green tree python (Morelia viridis) is one of the most fascinating and colorful snakes enjoyed by herpetoculturists. Often referred to by hobbyists and breeders as the “chondro,” based on the snake’s original genus of Chondropython, this small to medium-sized arboreal species is indigenous to New Guinea and some of the surrounding islands, as well as the Cape York Peninsula of northern Australia. This slender snake often appears smaller than it actually is, due to its habit of perching on a branch in a compact, inner-looped posture. Adults average 4 to 5 feet in length, but can exceed 6 feet. Highly nocturnal, green tree pythons seldom move during daylight hours, and combined with its beautiful colors, this makes this python a less-threatening snake to encounter for people who are unaccustomed to captive snakes.
