Been Searching For The Perfect GTP. Well I Found It!

Meet Magma. Not sure if it is a male or female yet, but I don't care, I had to have him/her. He/She is perfect in my eyes. Won him/her on one of Ben Siegels auctions last night. He/She should be here soon. Can't wait!

Pretty sure I will be going with a 36" wide 24" tall cage from PVC Cages for this guy/gal when it gets big enough but any other cage manufacturer recommendations are appreciated.

Congratulations! I was eyeing her myself!

Congrats!! Gtp's are so cool. I love mine.

I love my PVCcage cage. They ship really quick compared to most cage builders.

Congratulations!! He's quite a looker! :gj:

Oh! I saw last night that they were going to have a GTP on their auctions. Very cool you got it.

I am not a GTP type person. What makes yours or other GTP's the perfect version?

For me, it is a combination of the way the parents look, and the markings on the baby. I like the parents to have a good bit of blue and the baby to have a busy pattern. I also consider temperament and local of the parents. From what Ben was saying about the parents, they sounded pretty docile, and the baby seems pretty calm too.

Is the dam in a shed in that pic or is that how it always looks? TO me looks like it might be in a shed. If it always looks like that, is it a color of a good GTP? To me it doesn't look nice but again i am not a GTP guy. My G/F loves how GTP's look but i have never been a fan.

She does look like she may be getting close to a shed in that pic but the blues towards her lower half is what I loved about her. The blues should be even brighter after she sheds. If you don't think you would like them then I would steer clear of them. They have higher than average care requirements and are known to be temperamental, so if the passion is not there for them then the time and care you have to put in may end up feeling like a chore.

I wasn't planning on getting one. Just asking to learn a little.

Congrats! I heard about that clutch a few weeks ago and it sounded like a nice locale cross. Anything with Aru type is a fav of mine as far as temperament goes. I absolutely love my Aru girl she is so sweet. You are a couple years away from needing a cube but we are getting our cubes from dragons4you now. We have PVC cubes and they are nice but dragons4you come fully assembled and sealed with perches and I like the ABS material better than PVC. Like I said we have several of both in our snake rooms and I just prefer them over PVC. But either are fine.

Your little one will need a 6qt tub with back heat for awhile. Enjoy the baby stage....morphing is what it's allllll about!

He's very nice, congrats on the pickup. How much did that hit your pocketbook for?

Hes beautiful. Congrats.

With shipping, it was around $360 I think. Would have to look back at my receipt for the exact number.
