IT'S TINY TUESDAY

It is Tiny Tuesday but I have no photos of anything small......so snakes it is!

This is the Green Tree Python (Morelia viridis); this one lives in the zoo in Milwaukee but is native to New Guinea, Indonesia and the Cape York peninsula in Australia.

Compared to many constrictor snakes that are pythons, this one is rather small being only 4 to 6 feet long....so maybe it qualifies for Tiny Tuesday but not the spirit of the challenge so I'll not tag it.

It is common and of least concern.  From a WIKI:

"The green tree python is an obligate ambush predator. It will eat small mammals, rodents, frogs, and other amphibians, birds, and other small reptiles. This snake will lure prey close by wiggling the delicate tip of its tail, mimicking a worm."
