No problem man ask any you want, I am no expert but will do my best to answer them.
Cage I am using is 36"x24"x24". I am not sure the wattage on the heat panel I am using as it came with the cage. It works awesome along with the herpstat t-stat I run with it. Works awesome to provide a "hot spot" and keeps ambient temps just where I want them.
Thanks

Thanks a bunch I love her!
Thats great your thinking of getting one! May I suggest getting the More Complete Chondro regardless of if you get one or not? Really a great book and has some good insights into keeping reptiles not just GTP's.
Here are some websites of cages I would recommend.

Gorgeous Chondro. I love the heat-pit loaded faces on GTPs. How old is she? When will you attempt to feed her?
Keep us posted. You got us hooked...

Re: My First GTP!
Thanks guys!!
I've got two meals in her so far, but now I'm going to shoot for a every 12-14 day feeding regimen. You wanna keep these guys lean, and not fat.
She is a 05, Boid.
Earl I've handled her once and she was just fine, I'm hoping to get her outside to snap a few shots.
