Feeder Sizing

Green Tree Pythons can generally eat 1 - 1.25x the widest part of there body. However if your feeding 1.25x it's girth it's recommended that you make your feedings less frequent.  Be careful of what you feed your snake as certain rodents can have green belly, mites and other diseases if they aren't properly raised & euthanized before packaging.

Feeding Frozen Vs Feeding Live

​​Feeding a Green Tree Python live rodents can be dangerous and is not recommended.  Captive bred snakes specifically don't gain the instincts that they normally do in the wild and are much more susceptible to injury. If you leave live rodents in an enclosure with a snake that isn't hungry it may even get eaten by the rodents themselves.  Live rodents also carry potentially dangerous diseases and pathogens that frozen rodents are much less likely too.  Lower temperatures help kill and prevent growth of disease which is why it's not only recommended to use frozen for your snakes health but also for your own.
