Lereh
Morelia viridis
This is another highland localitie, founder stock
originated from the Waruta valley near Lereh. Deep green in
color with a beautiful thick blue line running along there
back, the triangles along the line are shaped like droplets
and have darkgreen spots inside, frequently with a lot of
blue spots covering the body and white scale randomly
scattered over there back. The tail is uniformly green
colored. I have seen animals from the same locality that
were dark green and had more blue/greyish markings. Bright
yellow juveniles are more commonly born than red ones.
These highland animals are very rare and infrequently bred
in captivity they are regarded as the prettiest locality
around. Some confusion may occur when animals are referred
to as "highland animals" as this often refers to Wamena,
this locality is totally different from Lereh.
