Green Tree Pythons Morelia viridis and Morelia azurea
GREEN TREE PYTHONS: Morelia viridis and Morelia azurea
A comprehensive 295-page guide to the biology, informed husbandry, health and breeding of Green Tree Pythons.
This book was created for keepers who want to go beyond basic care sheets and understand how Green Tree Pythons actually function in captivity. It combines practical husbandry, biological context and breeding experience in one structured reference covering both Morelia viridis and Morelia azurea.
The focus is not only on what settings to use, but on understanding why they work, how different environmental factors interact, and how to recognise when an animal is thriving, adapting, stressed or approaching a reproductive stage.
The book covers enclosure design, perch placement, temperature gradients, humidity, ventilation, lighting, hydration, feeding, body condition, hygiene, quarantine, biosecurity and long-term health management. Particular attention is given to the balance between temperature, airflow and humidity, rather than relying on single target numbers.
A substantial section is dedicated to reproduction. It includes seasonal preparation, cycling, cooling strategies, pairing, reproductive behaviour, ovulation, female management, laying, maternal and artificial incubation, hatching and early care of neonates.
The book also discusses practical decision-making: how to observe animals, how to adjust conditions based on behaviour, how to avoid common husbandry mistakes, and how to build a system that is stable, repeatable and safe over the long term.
Inside you will find:
- 295 pages of detailed content
- 16 main chapters
- biology and natural history
- enclosure setup and equipment
- perch layout and thermal zoning
- temperature and humidity management
- ventilation and hydration
- feeding and body condition
- health, prevention and biosecurity
- quarantine procedures
- seasonal cycling and breeding preparation
- pairing and reproductive behaviour
- ovulation, laying and female care
- maternal and artificial incubation
- hatching and neonate rearing
- practical husbandry supplement
- ready-to-use records and forms
- practical glossary
- bibliography and reference material
The book is intended both for keepers preparing for their first Green Tree Python and for experienced enthusiasts who want to refine, organise and deepen their husbandry and breeding knowledge.
It is especially useful for readers who prefer a practical, evidence-informed approach based on animal observation, environmental stability and long-term results rather than rigid care-sheet formulas.
