Green Tree Python

There are more than 2,500 species of snakes living on every continent but Antarctica. The smallest is just a few inches long, while the biggest is more than 30 feet long.

Young green tree pythons, native to Australia and New Guinea, are yellow for the first six to eight months. They grow to be five to six feet long.
