How To Tame A Green Tree Python 

Nice job! The only suggestion I would add is that in general with these guys it's a good idea to avoid doing enclosure maintenance or handling at night. My Green Tree Python is a very gentle soul, and I can do any enclosure maintenance needed during the day; it doesn't bother him at all. But at night, much MUCH more so than any of my other snakes, he goes into predator mode. He hangs there in ambush position and is extremely alert and reactive to even slight movement, so sticking my hand in there for any reason would not be a good idea. It's just his feeding response, but it's intense.

I'm no longer intimidated by Green Tree Python after seeing an Emerald tree boa

Great job, Tricia. As a GTP keeper myself, I can safely say that you really nailed the handling advice. 👍🏻

Omg I want one so bad! Thx for the extra prep. Getting a bearded dragon next year!

two years ago i had to pick one up from a guy that had to go to prison (so he had no time to take care of it anymore lol) that snake tagged me hard it was love at first sight 😍now a frend of me breeds with it .....🐍🐍🐍

I don't think I could ever have the guts to even try to tame a snake let alone a python but that's why I like watching your videos💕💗💘💞

Metamora is adorable 😍❤️🐍

Great video - love Metamora 💙🐍💚(your hair looked great in this video)

Videos are amazing!!

My mom walked over to my phone and said, "eww what are u watching" she is not fond of snakes.😂😭

Ive had a baby GTP for a bit now and I am trying again to tame it and this video has given me some great insight and ways to go about it. I appreciate it so much:)

You are so informative n yea reading body language on any pet always impt. Espically snakes metamora.is beautiful.and definitely worth having patience with n to view daily ..n her tank is off the chain 😍🐍🥰

I'm researching GTPs, because I want to get one. There's a book by Justin Julander and Terry Phillip that I would highly recommend this one to anyone who is keeping GTPs, or to someone who is thinking about keeping them in the future.

I can't get over how much I love your room. I hope I'm fortunate enough to have a room like that one day. To just go in there and have some peace and quiet seems so amazing. I may put a kot in it and just sleep in there lol

Have you ever heard of target training snakes? I've been watching Lori Torrini's videos about how she target trains all of her snakes and I feel like you would he amazing at it and that your green tree python would be an excellent candidate for it. She's a professional animal behaviorist. She never forces the animals or grabs them without their consent, she just trained then to follow a target and then leads them to activity spaces and they have the choice to interact with her, their environment or go back in the enclosure. It works really well with food motivate snakes. She target them to go to the scale to weigh them without her having to grab her. She'll target them to a safe activity area while she cleans the enclosure. You just totally have the right respect and temperament to work with snakes like that and it would make excellent content. I know this is an old video but I hope you see this and consider :) she does video consultations, she did one with another RU-vidr (reptiles and research) where she guide him through a training session with his Mexican black king snake. It's just really great for snakes that can be defensive they really learn to trust you through that kind of training.

My Aru Green tree Python will arrive tomorrow. I'm so excited

Hey Trisha! I’m a huge fan of yours! Thank you for always posting such educational videos on a variety of pets!! Could you maybe do a video of pac man frog care? I know there is a lot of research I could do on my own, which I have because I’m currently a new pac owner, but on RU-vid there is not enough care videos, and I trust your videos and go by them for care. Your very knowledgeable about different animals care and I know you own or have owned a pac as well! Thanks so much! Please keep being awesome, and posting wonderful educational videos!!

Great info

Can‘t wait to get mine in two weeks😍 this Video was really helpful 😊

Love it. Be one with the snake become the tree ♥️. Awesome tips I think most of them could be applied to other animals. Learn their behavior and respect their space. 🙏👋

Good on ya bf for making that call! Gtp are so bloody awesome 😎 one time apparently our neighbour back in Oz 🇦🇺 saw a red baby one in his backyard and exactly that day I wasn't there 😂 and bromilia have the habit of hiding snakes also eyelash vipers for instance. Well done on taming down your lil 🐉 can't wait to get mine...

Love this information! Green tree pythons get such a bad rep :(

If you want a snake to handle get a ball python or a corn snake or a BCI if you want a snake to look at then get a GTP

A captive bred baby is the best way to go

My favorite 💕💕

YESS i have an adult aru green tree python and they are definitely a look don’t touch type of snake and so insanely beautiful so I’m perfectly fine with that 🐍

Notification squad ✌️

I got a baby Aru GTP 18 months of snake keeping

Nice

I show a ball python to my mom and she said "ugghh.. I scared of snake" but I love 🐍 snake

My Faveeeeeeeee ❤️❤️❤️💯💯

Hey, I’m just about to get my GTP, as for substrate I want to use coco coir. Would you recommend doing any clay ball layering or anything like that? Any advice would be muchly appreciated cheers. Can’t find a whole lot on how to get a healthy substrate

I love the Name Metamora😭😫💕💕💖

😯 never been this early before 😁 hi!

im in a dilemma and I want a tip... I have a huge enclosure with a ton of branches. Should I get a chameleon or a green tree python

Waiting for my biak male to show up Tuesday i can wait he will be my second snake.

I choose Friday night feedings

After the one week since he’s a baby would I be able to pick him up every other day for 15 minutes?

I dont own a Green tree Python, but it’s still intresting,🐍

where did you get those holders for the perches?

Lucky boyfriend trish

This should be good most people can’t do this🐍💚

Sorry meaning my chameleon not snake

First one here 😁

The answer to the question is - you don't. These arboreal pythons should not be handled.

don't spray your green tree directly, it changes their natural body temp.
