The  green tree python  ( Morelia viridis ) is a  species  of  snake  in the  family   Pythonidae . The species is native to  New Guinea , some islands in  Indonesia , and the  Cape York Peninsula  in  Australia . First described by  Hermann Schlegel  in 1872, it was known for many years as  Chondropython viridis . As its  common name  suggests, it is a bright green snake that can reach a total length (including tail) of 2 m (6.6 ft) and a weight of 1.6 kg (3.5 lb), with females slightly larger and heavier than males. Living generally in trees, the green tree python mainly hunts and eats small reptiles and mammals. It is a popular pet, and numbers in the wild have suffered with large-scale smuggling of wild-caught green tree pythons in Indonesia. Despite this, the green tree python is rated as  least concern  on the  IUCN Red List  of endangered species.
