ball python with green tree python?

i meant to say 90 cubic feet but couldn't figure out how to edit it

i have a humidifier piped in on timers, gets to 58% then falls off gradually. comes on 4 times at night and day

Heres the only way this cill work. You need to get someone who works with glass to cut you a piece that can be caulked horizontally dividing your large tank into a top and bottom. the job needs to be solid so the glass doesnt fall, shatter, and shred your BP. And Ideally woudl be plexi glass incase something falls on it. you would then beable to individually control the humidity in both sides and would be ensured they wouldnt fight. If you cant do this and do it well you cant keep them together

great idea

Your humidity needs to be higher for your GTP. Your GTP will eventually become dehydrated and have bad sheds, let’s not forget stress.

GTP should be provided a thermal gradient between 82 and 88 degrees F my humidity levels are @ 70 to 100 percent and then I let them have a drying out period.
Chondros are very thin skinned and sheds will dry on them very easily if the relative humidity is too low during the shedding period. The goal should be a gradual drying out period at night and early morning, followed by an increase in humidity in the afternoon and early evening.


With ball pythons
They may suffer health problems if kept too wet, including skin infections. If their humidity levels are too high.
Bp temps are to be kept around 80 to 90. So it would be ok with temps I suppose but the amount of humidity u have going on to help the GTP would be too much for the ball. Also as I pointed out before there is just no way u are going to keep the humidity up in a cage of that size. Humidity is the balance of air flow and wet based in the air and with that large of a cage it would have more air flow and dry out much quicker.
Are u able to keep it wet on the GTP for over 3 hours?

ya thanks. i have the snakes seperated. i can keep this tank/cage at 95% humidity all day and night if i have to. for now i use it for the bp. later when the gtp grows i will put him in there. the bp will back to the 40 gal tank.

This is by far the best thread ever! After reading the first two pages I just couldn't stop laughing. I will defiantly read each reply when I have more time.
