FAIL.
dude, gtps dont drink out of water dishes.
they drink the mist off their coils.
2x2x2 is perfect.

Kinda funny how I see mine drink from a bowl almost at least once a week. I also do not stay up into the night and watch them. I'm sure it's much more frequently.
Jim Scharphorn runs PVCcages.com
Barrs cages/herpcages (put .com behind either of those, same site) are okay for what you pay for them. They have almost no options and will probably never be made to the specs you want. Jim makes his own cages, he doesn't out source them. He will outfit them with heat panels, perches, anything you want. The quality difference is very noticeable as well.
As discussed before, green trees need more width than height. If the perches are too far from the water bowl or the snake is scared to go down to drink it will dehydrate. They prefer to drink from the coils but will drink from a bowl. An elevated bowl is ideal but not the most practical.

Re: Which Enclosure Size Is Better For Green Tree Python
I would go for the bigger cage, unlike bp's, with sub adult/adult chondro's- the bigger the better. Also i prefer and believe my chondro's prefer more of a horizontal gradient just like David said. As for water bowls, ive seen each one of my animals drink from thier bowls. Good luck. Almost forgot, i try to add three perches for them to choose from!

I really believe in perch selection. Also the size of the perch as well. if I notice one is away from the heat and I think the hot side is good I'll move the perch. you want the animal to be in the best spot for it to thrive, and feel comfortable.
