My First GTP!

[8b8ll]

Couple of question's for you Mike if you dont mind. It looks like your cage is around 2'x2'x2'? also how big is the radiant heat panel your using? and is that working good enough to provide the hot spot and ambient temps? Thanks.

Chris

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

Awesome snake! I am thinking of getting one (a local guy is selling his) and well, your thread is making me want to get it more.

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.

Those are some great pics 8b8ll!

I take it now he is acclimated, is he feisty or can you handle him?

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...

[8b8ll]

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.
