Locality type Green tree python
Adult colour and pattern by population — how much blue, how much yellow, whether a dorsal stripe is held. This tracks where the ancestors came from and how they were selected, not a single gene.
How it is produced
- Where it comes from
- This is not a single gene. It is produced by choosing which animals to breed, over generations.
- What that means for breeding
- No offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Offspring odds
No numbers for this one.
Locality type is produced by selective breeding over generations, not by a single gene, so no offspring percentage can be given for it. Breeders judge it by looking at the parents.
Worth knowing. Green tree pythons hatch yellow, red or brick and change to adult colour over months to years. A photograph of a hatchling says almost nothing about what the adult will look like, and the change happens whatever the locality.
What this rests on
Established by breeders through repeated crosses and recorded in community documentation, not by published genetics. That is how almost all morph inheritance is known — and it is worth saying rather than presenting it as laboratory fact.
