    I plan on running it for at least a month prior. That's what I did for my BP and in the end was valuable practice time. I've got the enclosure. I engineered thinner perches, a shelf for an elevated water dish, and a place for the probe. Just need to add some finishing touches. I'll take a picture tonight and put it on here for opinions.

    Things that I have read but have no experience with a GTP.

    Perches need to be close to size of snake in diameter.
    Water bowl and floor easily reached from perch.
    A way to hide while still on perch. Live or safe plastic plants that make the snake feel safe.

    Good luck.
