Good cage for GTP?

This guy has this on CL for 140, would this be good for my GTP? I've heard good things about these cages but is it tall enough?

I can't see the picture but green tree pythons need more horizontal space than vertical. They need to thermo-regulate just like ball pythons and they typically move side to side rather than up an down to do so. Most people recommend a cage 36" x 24" x 20" for an adult. (But could easily thrive in 24" cubes) Hatchlings should be kept in much smaller spaces so they feel secure.

You sent us a link to your email box haha. I don't have the password. :P LOL!

Cheers,
Chris.

How big is your GTP? Is it a male or female? Most breeders keep their makes in 24 in cubes and females get 36x24x24. I would check out pvccages.com Jim is a great guy. I got the 36x24x24 for JCP and I plan on getting another cage from him when my GTP gets bigger.

I traded for her yesterday and the guy said she is a girl . She's still pretty small

Idk if you can tell but her "perches" are a cut plastic hanger is that going to be okay? Or what do you recommend?r

Domenge you have two threads going for this.

If your gonna ask a question it it important to give us all the information you have. The cage in the pic does not appear to be a very good option for a GTP. It is to deep for a youngster and to short for an adult. I don't think you would be able to create the correct thermal gradient in such a short cage. It looks like a 12inch, that right?

I posted on your other thread I have my young one in a 12*12*18 and it works great. Later i will move her to a 24*24*24 or at largest a 36*24*24. What makes a GTP nice is how well they use the cage space. Being that they are not stuck on the floor they have more room in a smaller area.

Yea I know, the two threads was because I posted in general BP because that seems to be the most populated and the general pythons only had 1 viewer. Anyway thanks for the info I'm going to pass on the deal and order from pvccages. Thanks!

I would say no to the hanger. It doesn't look thick enough out very stable. These are easy to use, just make sure the max length is not to short for what she is in.

If you look in your other thread i posted a pic. In it you can see a vine I bought. I twisted the two thin vines together adding suction cups in the places as I twisted. I then spiraled it through the enclosure to give alot of climbing area.

I'm just curious what you traded for her? Did he say he handled her, is she nippy?

Cant I pick up some pvc pipe in the meantime?

Certainly.

I like the natural look so thats my first thought . The fluckers perches work very well though.

You can get closet rod hangers to hang the pvc. If its gonna be in tub you can bolt the rod hngers in place or epoxy. That wat the rods can be removed which makes cleaning the cage easier.

I gave him my 2012 hypo pastel for her that I had no plans for as far as breeding/pet wise. Yes she's nippy I was trying to give her fresh water last night and she struck the water.

And one more question I couldn't find the answer on google. Why do people scorch the pvc? Is it just for looks?

Good deal. Mine is still pretty nippy in her cage. With working with her a few days a week she has calmed alot and is nice outside her cage now. One thing I found with mine was at night she was more accepting to being handled. Everything I read said don't handle at night because they are more aggressive and in hunting mode. Whenever I tried to deal with her during the day she was so pissy I didn't think she would ever calm down. Then one night when she was climbing around I was giving fresh water and she decided she would like to climb out. It was the first time I got her out without being bit. Now if I wait for her to get active at night I can get her out with no strikes.

I hope you love her. They arebeautiful.

Mostly for the look. Some say texture but a regular piece of pvc works just fine for them. No need to scorch it you dont want to.

Just got some pvc and will post an updated pic here soon!
