There he is! May I recommend Cosmas as a name? (BTW: You weren’t kidding about the blues. Is that a color morph?)

Thank you and good suggestion! Gtp are kinda random with passing the colors on so I don’t think there are ā€œmorphsā€ but I got real lucky finding him for sale like this. I would call him a (high blue) though. I need to breed him with the female this season and I hope he will produce offspring similar to him.

I’m so glad to see you holding your gtp. These animals get so much hate lol I love them so much and can’t wait to get my own

Most of mine are decent but can’t just grab them thats for sure šŸ˜‚

Yes of course lol I’ve just talked with friends about getting one and have gotten ā€œthey are terrible and aggressive animals why would you want something like thatā€. I feel like there’s drawback and I understand they aren’t the snake you handle everyday but they are still beautiful and great animals that deserve good homes

1000% agree with you haha the reason they are so chill is the owner took the pair out 3 times a week (which is a little much in my book but these snakes do not care lol). If you do get one I would go with a captive bred to get an even calmer temperament. I would handle like 1-2 times a week once they are over a year. (Never had any problems holding them once a week)

Edit: Get a GTP from a good source and you’ll love it trust me.

He will name himself. Mine did, I called him Slipknot after I found a coil looped through and under another in the form of a half hitch knot, so Slipknot. I like the band too so that was a little bonus.

But yeah, just wait, he’ll name himself. Please don’t take a Norse suggestion, they’ve been flogged to death and chondros live nowhere near Scandinavia.

Edit: and yeah, stunning. Get ready for a lot of enjoyment and fun. They really are special.

Its too late I named him Thor lol (kidding) Thats a cool story though! Ill have to just keep him for a while and then see whats up I guess.
