First off, I won't be rushing into a GTP. I'm still new to snakes but my interest grows more and more everyday. I currently own a ball python who is just like most balls. Calm and easy to manage and handle. I'm also the new owner of a Blood Python who is actually quite tame so far. I keep both in tubs and CONSTANTLY check humidity, heat, cleanliness etc. Maintaining a comfortable environment for them is actually pretty fun for me!
With that in mind, once I do take the plunge and commit to a GTP it will be a "display" snake so-to-say. I won't be setting up an enclosure in the middle of the room, more in a corner where I can see it from a distance. I'd hate to disturb what I think is a shy animal. But here are the questions I'm sure you're all sick of answering, but I ask because I like to know what you experienced owners think and I like REAL feedback, not just a brief article some where on the internet. (All though that sort of reference is still appreciated!) So what can I expect in terms of housing? Humidity? Temps? Feeding frequency and good diets? I've found what I think to be a good terrarium at boaphile. (http://www.boaphileplastics.com/arborealcages.html) What size is correct though. This snake is something my wife was interested in, because frankly, they're gorgeous but I'd love to own one some day myself. Any help, advice or even warnings are much appreciated!
