Which Enclosure Size Is Better For Green Tree Python
Which enclosure size do you think is better for a Green Tree Python?
22 1/8L x 14 1/8W x 14H (1 Perch) or 19L x 19W x 18 1/8H (2 Perches) ?

Re: Which Enclosure Size Is Better For Green Tree Python
I've read several places that width is actually more important than height given that they rarely come down to the floor of the cage. More width lets them thermoregulate by going back and forth instead of having to go lower to get away from the heat.

i think recommended was like 24x18x18 (correct me if I'm wrong) with a couple of perches to thermoregulate closer or further from the heat (if you have lighting)...just what i've heard

I know Greg Maxwell recommends 36x24x24 for an adult.

Re: Which Enclosure Size Is Better For Green Tree Python
I've got mine in a 24" cube - It looks grossly over huge with him/her just sitting there during the day - but at night he/she likes cruising the cage and playing in the plants and everything - uncoiled GTPs are surprisingly big.
It's pretty old, but this is the only picture I could find of the cage right off:
BTW - the more perches the better it can thermo regulate - also if you are getting a baby - then it does need to be kept in a smaller cage for a while. I didn't see what age you were looking to get.

More Perches the better.
Generally you will see majority of cages having 2-3 perches.
Now as a young GTP I would go with the 22x14x14 with 2 perches.
As an adult I would suggest a 3x2x2 especially for a female.
You may think that is a big cage but it makes it much easier to create a PROPER gradient throughout the cage.
