Which Enclosure Size Is Better For Green Tree Python

[juddb]

come on man! get us a better pic then that! I want to see a good pic of your new baby!

I just started a thread buddy, Only one pic though my camera has a hard time taking pics of this guy!

When they are neonates (babies) they should stay in a small tub awesome for humidity when they become a yearling move them to a larger tub. Once they are borderline to adult u can move them in their display habitat. I like pvc cages .

Which I recommend 2 to 3 perch areas. Also if u get a chance read the book 'the more complete chondro’. It is worth every page! It was recommended to me and I'm so glad it was!

Welcome aboard! I see as your first act you resurrected a thread from '06! lol
GTP's are just amazing animals.

what size GTP are we talking?!? no one can really answer you poll unless we know the age of the animal!

i have mine in a 24" PVC cube cage (stroud special). she is almost 2 now.

Our guy is a little over a year old. He is in a 24x18x24 enclosure. He has a few different perches he can chose to bask on. We also have a 36x18x24 that we are in the process of setting up for our new arrivals and will be getting another 24x18x24.

I feel like for an adult a 24 cube is fine. Green trees stretch out, not up. The taller the cage the less likely for the chondro to go to the bottom and drink. If not properly misted it can cause major problems with dehydration. I keep neos in 6.5 and 12Q tubs and adults get 24L 18H 17.5 deep tubs. (goofy sizes huh?)
I plan to be moving up to 24 cubes or similar sized tubs soon. Screen tops are super hard to pull off with these guys. If you use google you will find the fix for that though. Pretty simple and really cool looking. The one advantage plastic display cages have over glass besides the the obvious (heat, humidity) if no water spots!


Here is the flip side. I have read debate that green trees COULD use bigger tubs as babies and that would make them more active in adult tubs. It is thought (possibly) we train them to just perch all their captive life. From personal experience wild caught chondros don't cruise any more than CBB ones.

From what i heard i 2'lx2'wx2't is good you don't want it to tall because they will go to the highest branch and if it is to high he won't be able to reach his water dish and will die from dehydration.

We do not have any problem with the temps in the enclosure. He moves around to where he is comfortable but we are always checking the temps with our heat gun. The humidity is also not an issue and we do not get water spots on the glass. The misting system we use sprays the water so fine that by the time it hits the glass it is next to nothing. But it does spray down the tank where needed. We also use distilled water for him.
One thing to remember have the enclosure set up before you purchase the snake. Make sure the humidity and temps are all stable. Do yourself a favor buy from a reputable breeder not someone at a show that has them sitting in the bottom of container on a wet paper towel. Make sure you know who you are buying from and spend a little more money for CBB.
