    A local pet store near my house is selling a 24"x18"x24" glass terrarium for 79.99$, I know this is an amazing deal, but is this size adequate to house a full grown GTP?

    The terrarium:

    It is the PT 2612 model

    Others may disagree, but I think you'll want something longer than that. Length is better than height for GTP enclosures. You want to provide a horizontal thermal gradient, so they can get to cooler spots away from the heat source without having to come down from the security of the uppermost perch.

    36" long by 24" x 24" for an adult GTP.

    You want something that is 36L x 24D with a height of at least 15 inches.
