Native Range: Virtually unknown in captive collections until 1994 when specimens of T. gracilis and T. novaeguineae were imported from the Indonesian country of Irian Jaya on the western end of the island of New Guinea. Little information is available on their natural habitat, although they have been collected in moist habitat along waterways at fairly high elevations.
Size and Appearance: Approximately two and one-half inches long at birth, they average about eight to ten inches in length as adults. Juveniles are dark brownish black with a thin white or cream mid-dorsal stripe. Adult specimens are solid dark reddish brown with a startlingly bright orange ring around the eye. Some captive-bred specimens have varying amounts of gold flecking on the toes and face. It is not know whether this is genetic or dietary in nature.
