Hoser, R. T. 2020.

A new subspecies of Green Python (Serpentes: Pythonidae: Chondropython) from eastern New Guinea.

Australasian Journal of Herpetology 49:9-12. Published 6 August 2020.

Is traditional Boidae (boas, pythons, Loxocemus, Casarea, etc.) monophyletic?

no, not at all. It's a shitshow.

Here is part of the phylogeny of squamates by Zheng & Wiens (2016).

True pythons (Pythonidae) are sister to Loxocemidae (burrowing pythons), in turn sister to Xenopeltidae (sunbeam snakes)

On the other hand, Boidae in the broad sense (since very often treated as superfamily Booidea, with subfamilies treated as full families) is closest related to Calabariidae (Calabar 'python'). The relationships between Pythonidae+Loxocemidae+Xenopeltidae and Booidea+Calabariidae is not well resolved, and the Xenophidiidae and Bolyeriidae somehow get in the middle.

So, it is very likely that pythons and boas arrived at their morphological similarities rather independently. Which is especially impressive in lineages like Chondropython and Corallus, which are just unbelievably similar.

For other ramblings on a related topic, see this post about the lack of pythons in Madagascar

Green Tree Python (Morelia Viridis)

Native Habitat The green tree python is a species of snake belonging to the family Pythonidae. They are native to New Guinea, Indonesia , and Cape York Peninsula of Australia. They can be found from the lowlands shrubs to montane forests. On average they grow from 5 to 6 feet in length, but can get up to 7 feet long; making them a small to medium sized arboreal species. They are non-venomous and highly nocturnal creatures and they seldom move during daylight hours.

Information Know as "chondros" to breeders and hobbyists for their original genus Chondropython. They are a permanent pet if chosen since they can have a lifespan of 20 years. In the wild they will use their skinny tails to entice potential prey items in close enough to strike when the time is right. They can be considered a more exotic species when compared to a common ball python or corn snake. They are more of an adult or experienced type of pet in terms of handling and care.

GREEN TREEN PYTHON Morelia viridis ©Laura Quick

The  green tree python is a species of python native to New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia. Described by Hermann Schlegel in 1872, it was known for many years as Chondropython viridis. As its name suggests, it is a bright green snake that can reach 6 feet/2 m in length and about 4 pounds/1.6 kg in weight, with females slightly larger and heavier than males. Oviparous, laying up to 25 eggs, Green Tree Pythons start out life with red or yellow scales which change to primarily green over time.  Living generally in trees, the green tree python hunts and eats small reptiles and mammals. It is a popular pet, and numbers in the wild have suffered with large-scale smuggling of wild-caught green tree pythons in Indonesia. Despite this, the green tree python is rated as least concern on the IUCN Red List of endangered species.

[reptileparties]

The best reptile parties in Melbourne let you handle the critters. Here are some really wicked looking Australian Green Pythons, Chondropython viridis and at our kids reptile birthday parties, they can all hold the animals. For reptile-themed parties shop around and get the hands on people rather than static displays. Make sure they have crocodiles, frogs, lizards and all that is needed.

Morelia viridis also known as the green tree python is a species of snake native to New Guinea, some islands in Indonesia, and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia.

:readmore:

It was first described by Herman Schlegel in 1872 and known as Chondropython viridis for many years. Its natural habitat is in or near rainforest, as green tree pythons are primarily arboreal, they reside in trees, shrubs and bushes, they are rarely seen on the ground. They're diet consists of mainly small mammals and reptiles
