Green Tree Python (1983)
Details This picture is looking down at hatching snakes in an incubation set-up created by keeper Trooper Walsh. Hatchlings of this species are dark red (brown) or yellow as in this photo. They change to green scale-by-scale as they mature. These snakes incubate their eggs by twitching their muscles to raise their body heat.
