Morelia viridis, the Green Tree Python, is a species of python found in New Guinea, islands in Indonesia, and Cape York Peninsula in Australia.

Its main habitat is rainforests, bushes and shrubs.The largest threat to the species is habitat destruction due to logging of forests.

Primarily arboreal, these snakes have a particular way of resting in the branches of trees; they loop a coil or two over the branches in a saddle position and place their head in the middle.

Oviparous, with 1-25 viable eggs per clutch. In the wild eggs are incubated and protected by the female, often in the hollow of a tree. Hatchlings are lemon yellow with broken stripes and spots of purple and brown, or golden or orange/red. Over time the color changes as the animal matures, color of the adult depends on the locality of the animal.
