Green Tree Python with Rare Color Pattern Is Turning Heads
Green tree pythons are named for their vivid green color, but they can also come in shades of blue, yellow, or even black. In a video posted earlier this month, a snake aficionado showed that they can come in all of the above!

It doesn't even look real! The snake was named Pixel. We have never seen a snake with these colors before, or one that is this pretty! The video says it is "Blueline x Calico." A calico snake! This snake looks so unreal that people are commenting that it's CGI in the comments. Considering this account has other beautiful pythons we have to believe she is real.
@Gohosting comments, "That's got to be like $200,000 snake."
According to ReptileHow, On average, a green tree python will cost between $500 and $750 for a baby snake. A yearling that is beginning to change color will be $800 and up. Adults can go for over $900 once their color is known." Welp, not sure if this snake is for sale but she sure is pretty!
TikTok users agree and @Richard comments, "Beautiful! Looks like fruity pebbles!" @Walker adds, "May be one of the most pretty and pixelated snakes I've ever seen."
If you are interested in getting your own Green Tree Python, these snakes can average four to five feet in length when full gown, and some can grow over six feet! These snakes are are non-venomous constrictor snakes, but they can still bite if they feel threatened. They usually live between 12-20 years, and in captivity they dine on mice and rats.
We have never considered owning a snake before, but if we could have one as pretty as Pixel we may change our minds!
