Its specialty is its rare blue colour

Normally, Green Tree Pythons are, well, green, just like their name suggests. But a rare genetic variation reduces the green pigment, giving some snakes a deep blue colour. It is extremely rare for these snakes to be born blue in the wild. Their royal blue body, white stripes, and shiny eyes make them look absolutely stunning.

Breeding is very difficult

The main reason this snake costs crores is because breeding it is an extremely difficult job. To create a blue snake, breeders must carefully select bloodlines over many generations. Even if you pair two 'high blue' snakes, there's no guarantee their babies will be blue. This hard work over many years and the low success rate have shot its price up in the international market.

Collectors' competition... huge demand

Elite reptile collectors from all over the world compete in auctions to get their hands on such rare creatures. If a snake has the perfect colour, the right genes, and proper family tree documents, collectors are willing to pay any price the breeder asks. This massive demand has pushed its price higher than even luxury cars and apartments.

Where are they found?

These Green Tree Pythons are naturally found in the dense rainforests of New Guinea, eastern Indonesia, and northern Australia. They are completely non-venomous and spend most of their lives wrapped around tree branches. They are not a threat to humans at all.

Does every snake cost crores?

Not at all. A regular Green Tree Python costs only a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. The ₹3.8 crore price was an all-time record for one very special snake with the rare 'high blue' colour and exceptional genes.
