Who is this curled up sleeping in my green island fig raft?

At least he might keep the pests down!

The bonsai is a small chuhin Ficus 'microcarpa' cv. 'Green Island' seven trunk raft style that has been in training for 30 years and is growing in a pot made by my bonsai teacher especially for this little tree.

cheers

is that a wild GTP? If so wow, your a very lucky guy to get them in your back yard.

For those asking its a GTP, short for Green tree python, Morelia viridis, starts off yellow then gradually changes to green as they grow

Fantastic Ash, what a great visitor you've got there. I've got some miniature praying mantis that I'm yet to photograph, nothing close to your visitor of course
