Green Tree Python

Morelia viridis, or more commonly called: Green Tree Python
These beautiful snakes are found predominantly in and around New Guinea and northern Australia.
They average around five to six feet in length and as the name would suggest, their normal home
is in the trees. Their diet usually consists of small mammals, birds, amphibians and even lizards.

Casio QV-4000
1/19s f/2.0 at 19.4mm full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

That is actually an Emerald Tree Boa, or Corallus caninus, not a Green Tree Python.

Yes, it is green, and yes, it is big, but beautiful is not the adjective that comes to mine, but then I'm a baby about snakes! LOL!!
