    Exclamation What setup do you use for your Green Tree Python?

    Basically the subject says it all.
    I am getting ready to get a GTP and after all care-sheets studies I also want to get advice from those who already owns it.

    What brand and type of cage do you use? (Looking at exo terra 18x18x24, but read that young snakes doesn't like it 'too big'?)
    Misting system? (looking at zoo med reptile fogger)
    Mist system controller?
    Since they are arboreal - no UTH or yes?
    What do you use to control heat? since there will be mist, what would be a good device for that?

    Thanks

    Re: What setup do you use for your Green Tree Python?

    I have a PVC Cages 24x24x24. I bought the complete kit, the one with a light and radiant heat panel, perches, etc. I use a Herpstat thermostat for the radiant heat panel. I have the probe mounted on the back wall of the enclosure about equal height with the top perch. I don't have an UTH or a mister. I hand mist and use a large water bowl. The GTP is doing great and hasn't missed a meal since she's been in it. Hope that helps!

    Thumbs up

    Thanks so much for the reply and this is very helpful!
    Did you get your from PVCcages. com ? They got great setups, the only thing their terms & shippings says they ship within 1 to 3 weeks (which is a lot).

    Do you use this kind of herpstat: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=sr_1_3&sr=8-3 ?

    What do you think about cheaper version - Lerway? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BMLCGF8?psc=1

    Can mister mess thermostat's work or it's unlikely?

    Thanks again!
