Green Tree Python Hatchling
Morelia viridis (hatchling)
Newly hatched green tree pythons live in humid rainforest vegetation and low shrubs, often resting on thin branches. They feed on small lizards, frogs, and tiny mammals by striking from cover. Hatchlings are usually yellow, red, or brick-colored rather than green, giving them camouflage among leaves, flowers, and forest debris. Their prehensile tail helps them hold onto branches soon after hatching.
