Morelia viridis, commonly known as the Green Tree Python, is renowned for its striking emerald green scales, which can range from bright yellow to deep blue. Native to the rainforests of New Guinea and northern Australia, this arboreal snake exhibits remarkable camouflage and a prehensile tail, aiding in tree navigation and hunting.

Morelia viridis, commonly known as the green tree python, is native to the rainforests of New Guinea, parts of Indonesia, and the Cape York Peninsula in Australia. This species is predominantly found in the humid, tropical regions of northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, including the islands of the Torres Strait.

The green tree python thrives in humid, tropical lowland and montane rainforests. These environments are characterized by high humidity, frequent rainfall, and warm temperatures, typically ranging from 24 to 29 degrees Celsius (75 to 84 degrees Fahrenheit).

Morelia viridis occupies an arboreal ecological niche, expertly adapted to life in the trees. It is most commonly found in the forest canopy, where it uses its prehensile tail to navigate branches and its green coloration for camouflage among the foliage. The species is mainly nocturnal, hunting small mammals and birds in the trees. Its habitat preferences may vary slightly based on geographical location, with some populations found in secondary forests or plantation areas where primary rainforest has been cleared.
