I promised progression pics...

This is Paprika 6 months ago or so...

And today I decided to take her out and show her off with the cam. Ofcourse with my luck she's due to shed but... even when "blue" she is jaw-dropping gorgeous.

So there she is, the new keeper of my reptile room:

Who said Biaks can't be handled huh?!

This is my amateurish reptile room:

Wow she's changed! (any more pictures of the transition in colouring?) I love her blue tongue!
 
Well Biak are considered the slowest of the lot when it comes to changing colors.
They also have a knack for being the most aggressive and biggest of the bunch...
However she's a real doll. Few Biaks are handable.
But that's true only after you use a hook to take her out... or else you -will- be bitten
 
Thank you all! she hisses in approval! (no... wait, it's nighttime and I look especially yummy. Nevermind...)
 
Beautiful snake & the color change is stunning...! How large will your beauty grow to be?

By the way, I have the same exact bag of aspen as you. :) What a kawinkadink. :cheers:
 
Around 1.2 meters which is roughly 4 feet or so.
Thank you for looking!

and yeah, I love the aspen bedding.
 
Stunning... they really are beautiful creatures. I love the pic of her with her mouth open. Was she yawning or begging? lol
 
yawning. Actually that picture is not one of my favourites- if you will look closely you'll see she had the very beginning of a mouth rot- I treated it and she's all right as rain now... but still.

GTP's rock though, yeah :)
 
absolutely stunning snake! im so jealous. could you post a pic of her tank please? im interested to see the set up. :cheers:
 
Actually it's a real issue since the USB connections on my pc died. I was visiting a friend yesterday so I uploaded these to a cd...

Basically it's a large plastic shoebox with a mild amount of ventilation. There's a bamboo stalk positioned as a perch on around it I twisted one of Exoterra's vine-thingies. I used the largest. I twisted it all around the place to allow different heights and perches- all of which were tested to see that they are stable.
Under a 1/4 of the shoebox there's a UTH, and a digital thermometer+hydrometer by Exoterra.

As substrate I use paper towels.

That's it mostly. It's pretty temporary. I plan on creating a pretty terrarium for her, possibly one of Exoterra's though I am not sure. For me it works our pretty well.

I mist once a day to keep the humidity at around 70-80%. I allow it to drop to around 60% on the following day... rinse and repeat
 
When I saw this thread I actually thought it was about a new doorknob--this is so much better! Very cool looking snake!

Sorry for the ignorant question, but what exact kind of snake is that? I pretty much am completely ignorant of snakes, and just know that there are the big vaguely scary ones and the little cute ones. This falls in the big category somewhere.
 
Morelia Viridis, also known as the Green Tree Python(GTP for short). Or Chondro Python.
In general, these are small and rather dazzling snakes. They cost an arm and a leg mostly, and can be very aggressive. Strictly arboreal as they name implies.

They are considered to be difficult to keep due to their high humidity demands and general sensitivity
