Green Tree Pythons
Morelia viridis and Morelia azurea
Biology, informed husbandry, health and breeding.
Green tree python care involves more than choosing a temperature or following a breeding calendar. This English-language book connects the biology of Morelia viridis and Morelia azurea with the decisions keepers face throughout an animal’s life.
Across 16 chapters, it examines taxonomy and provenance, enclosure design, temperature and light, water and ventilation, feeding, biosecurity and health. Breeding chapters follow readiness and pairing through incubation and the care of young snakes. An atlas of 28 locality and regional profiles explains why appearance, origin and documented lineage need separate consideration.
The practical supplement, From Enclosure Setup to Daily Care, brings the discussion back to usable space, measurements and routine care. Original photographs, diagrams, tables, records and references help readers distinguish published findings from husbandry practice and assess changes in their own setup.

English edition overview
Who Is This Book For?
For readers preparing seriously to keep green tree pythons and established keepers who want to examine their husbandry decisions in more detail. Those planning to breed can follow the dedicated chapters on readiness, reproduction, incubation and juvenile care.
It is a substantial reference to work through alongside observations and records, rather than a short care sheet. Readers preparing their first enclosure are directed to the chapters on acquisition, quarantine, environment, feeding and health before buying an animal.
