It is a better idea to start with what a GTP requires for care and maintenance and knowing if you can offer the proper care for a GTP, before jumping headlong into "tips and tricks" for keeping. They are more advanced than a BP.


As far as your T8 goes, keeping a GTP in a 12" tall terrestrial cage when they are an arboreal species lends itself to possible issues right off the bat. You're better off with another BP or a small colubrid on the other side.
