Green Tree Python in New Guinea The Green Tree Python has beautiful eyes and heat sensing pits. This python is my pet and is actually blind in one eye. This may not matter too much for feading because she can use her pit organs to locate prey. Pythons Pit organs are only shared with Boas and Pit Vipers. Green Tree Pythons live in the tops of trees and were long thought to eat birds, but studies have not found evidence of birds in their poop. They do come down to the jungle floor and feed on rodents.  Green tree python,Morelia viridis Click/tap to enlarge Country intro
