Super Simple & Effective Ways to Keep Your Green Tree Python 

Thanks so much for this video!!! I just got my first Banana Ball Python going on 9 weeks ago, and we are just loving her! She's thriving and doing awesome. She eats weekly, and she's had her first shed which was excellent. I have begun educating myself on GTP's also as this will be my next venture. I will definitely be following you!

YOU ARE ON TOP OF IT GARY….these are BEAUTIFUL SNAKES….I don’t have them, but am getting very educated watching your videos. Fantastic job you do🏆.

Thank you Gary for making such great videos with great info you have given me the confidence to start my GTP journey!

Awesome video Gary! This was one of the best I’ve seen. My favorite channel since you started. Keep it up big bro.

Amazing video like always! I have my green trees in pvc cages One day I added pothos to my cages and one of my animals moved to the bottom perch right next to the plant!

Great video as always! I was glad to hear you use substrate with your adults, as I need to do that for humidity too. I have water in a kitty litter pan, but I also put about 3" of damp coco husk/cypress mulch in another kitty litter pan, then keep both pans on top of a layer of paper towel. Substrate in the litter pan makes enclosure cleaning simpler, because I can just lift the substrate pan out, and replace the paper towel underneath as needed. Re: bioactive - I just don't understand a bioactive setup in a typical enclosure - which ends up being more like a jungle/riverbank - for a snake that has evolved to live in a canopy environment.

ima a day late but i told you id be here to watch! awesome vid! love the info and gorgeous animals as always. Thanks a lot!

Excellent presentation, Gary.👌

17 months, I knew it.., glad you came clean though... jokes aside, put me down on team kanye, deff has crazy going for him..! Excellent, excellent video. Reallly solid material, thank you

This is funny lol, I started watching your videos a couple months ago because of the Carpet content, then I started looking into getting a GTP finally, and low and behold, here’s the video I was looking for, made by you, no less than 18 hours ago :)

Great content as usual Gary. I use your videos to always make sure I am staying on track with husbandry.

This is perfection for anyone just starting. Excellent job! I have two questions: 1) Do you decrease the ambient temperature further during the night or you keep it the same as during the day? 2) Would you keep green tree pythons in a glass terrarium using the same set up you have (for an adult but not bioactive)?

Always love your vids. I personally keep true red tails, but I like GTPs, as well as ETBs. I am considering getting a more arboreal setup than I have with the Guyana's and Suriname's and investing in one of GTPs, mainly because of your videos. Keep up with the great work you're doing with them and keep pumping out great content. Look forward to the next one.

This video is perfect for me because I’m getting my CBB baby in the next couple months

black poster boards... Mind blowing I'm so gonna do this for my cable management

Nice one Gary, very informative

Great video this is such great information I am about to start setting up my cage for a baby chondro to check the parameters and hopefully in the next few months get a baby Also MJ and the Snake Trap Sessions is one of my favorite podcasts I just listened to your unfiltered reptiles one and started reading Stolen World what a great book

Another Rock Star Video by my friend :)

Thank you Gary!

So for the babies, high humidity is dangerous, but high humidity is necessary? That’s pretty confusing. How about a humidity range that is acceptable?

high humidity and high ventilation. they live in the rainforest. the humidity is always high there. there are no dry periods. cross ventilation is the most important thing. just like keeping some of the more delicate Avicularia tarantulas. cross flow is key.

Amazing video very educational! please make one of these videos for baby emerald tree boas :)

19:37 “If you guys live in an area that’s more moist than I am” 😂💀

Just found your videos as I’m looking more into GTP’s. Do you have Biaks and how much do your babies typically cost? Love the way you explain everything and care for your animals! Hopefully someday I’ll get one from you when I’m prepared for one 👍🏻

You would be referring to Mick Cermak who lives in Cairns QLD Australia

Absolutely perfect video

Hey Gary can you please explain the intricacies of why a reduced pattern diamond jungle jaguar is more appropriate than a carpondro? Asking for a friend,,,,,great video by the way,

Excellent vid, what size Cambros are those?

Great info

Welcome back

U should make one these types videos for carpet pythons or just facts or something about them I love them.!.!.!.!. My grandma won’t let me have a snake but I do have quite a bit of geckos and skinks.:)

Love your work Gary. Quick question if you have time to answer: Where can I purchase the square shallow heat panels? Asking for a friend who lives in Melbourne Australia :)

I think pete would take kanye. He would hit kanye with a witty insult and kanye would crumble like a cookie thats been dipped in hot tea too long 😂

Fantastic info!

Glad to see you're health is doing better. That's the important thing, commenting while watching so I'll probably be back. To criticize your "work" and be really judgemental. LOL JK it'll probably be a comment on your eyes.

Do you provide a year round nighttime temperature drop for your adults or only during breeding season? As always love the videos, thanks for sharing your expertise :)

I didn’t get to watch the full video yet but stupid question I know you put a lid on the boxes for the babies but how do you keep the lid on? And what keeps them from moving the lid off and getting out? Also do the shoe boxes have air holes in them??

Good info but lol how many times do you need to say David B’s perch info??? We get it. I just bought a Gtp got a good deal 7 month old got a nice alpha enclosure and it’s in a rack system paid 4000 for the snake and I also have discus fish and we keep our discus at 86 and ph 6.5 and there’s a lot of plants you can use we always had plants I strongly suggest it and also a co2 bottle with a bubbler for o2. They are very pretty and have nice colors. Nice chondros

Love the video brother💯💯💪💪

How can I contact you to see what carpets and diamonds you have available?

Hey Gary, so you run 81-83°F hot end and cold end drops down to about 77-78°F. Do you run a nite cycle also and if so what temps do you run? Also are these the same temps for you northern emeralds or do you increase the temps a little? TIA

gracias por el nuevo video y gracias por la información

What is your view on lights for your green tree phyton? They dont need lights ? Any feedback is greatly appreciated

This was a great video!

Amazing video, how old is those snakes in this video?

All remember to ask if they don't spray if they live in Texas or Thailand.

Hi Gary!! Great video very helpful.. In 6 quart tub. How many ventilation holes do you recommend ?

Hi Gary. I’m wondering if you could give me some advice…how long should a 15/16 month old gtp take to move its bowels after being fed?It’s not as big as your one year manokwari you showed. Its a mixed local. I think it was sorong x aru x biak but not sure on the percentages of each locality. I just recently moved it onto rat fluffs were it had been getting two smaller prey items that had no fur. I fed it 12 days ago . There was only a slight bulge so I don’t think it was too big a prey item. Could it just be the introduction of fur and bone like you mentioned thats making it take longer? If a gtp that age had a blockage how would that be treated by a vet and is there anything a keeper can do to help if an animal that age had a blockage around the cloaca ?The temps are just a little bit higher than you mentioned and was misting every day exactly as you mentioned in this video basically keeping it the exact same as you except mines is heated from above.Am i just over thinking it worrying prematurely? Sorry for all the questions Gary it’s just it took me a while to save up for this little guy and i have wanted one for years and I don’t want to make any mistakes and I want to be giving it the very best chance to thrive as possible and i know you have decades of experience. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks Gary.

I hope someone sees this but is a 2x2x2 good for a full grown im planning on buying a baby but don’t know if a made a good choice on the tank

Can u breed a green tree python with a emerald tree boa 🤔

Who makes the large /enclosures you have?

I am from India, in a tropical condition, can I keep it outdoors?

What are your thoughts on only feeding after they have deficated their last meal. Was told that way you won’t have any issues

Are you selling any of those babies?

Any recommendations for heat source with the plastic containers?

So wet in the morning and a little dry in the evening is best for the younglings? Sorry not a native English speaker

How do you regulate the temperature in the enclousure? I dont get it..

I read humidity between 40 to 80% this wouldn't be constantly wet soil and there are plants w much lower watering requirements. What are the fresh air exchange requirements for GTPs? Haven't been able to find actual stats on that. Granted it may require a bit more technical knowledge but small exhaust and intake fans are cheap and easy to install. There's more and more info about how enriched environments improve neurological health in reptiles. Appreciate the advice in the video but it seems to be dismissive of how precisely an environment in a bioactive can be regulated.

Do u leave the containers open or close them?

What do they go for

Michael Cermak

Hey bud I know u answered my question before but my gtp is no were the size of ir yearling he is probably the size of a 4 month old should I give him bigger fuzzys even if he is smaller? Thanks

Where can we go to buy a baby gtp. I just want to urchase from reputable person not any online farm. ?

Do you do a temp decrease at night?

Aright what is a prolapse

What size heat panel do you use

Pete!

Any for sale?

How many pinkies should my green tree be eating per feeding? He is 4 months old?

What do you use to clean glass. It’s driving me insane, hard to get slobber off

Ha ha. Love the hot takes. Disagree on the bioactive, but love the video. Tempted to argue about it, but 90% sure that you are baiting. Ha ha.

I'm happy to hear that you're against this whole bioactive build craze. I think it works for some specific reptiles and amphibians. I will mention that I bought a book for GTPs it's written by Justin Julander and Terry Phillips. In it the writers say you can keep them between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. You don't want the temperature to be too hot for GTPs. Furthermore, you shouldn't over feed them.

First time watching your videos. Just a recommendation - slow down! You talk amazingly fast. It's hard to keep up with the video when you talk so fast. The other comment is I would like to know more or see more about the heat you provide to your baby chondros. Where is the heat tape or heat mat. You never showed it.

Here in Indonesia greentree python is protected by my fucking government

this is NOT bioactive, just because you put dirt and a plant in it does not mean its bioactive. Also this is not how you would set up a proper bio set up. Its not even close to big enough for one thing.

Why u Don't respond Instagram?

up north in Australia around the Daintree Rain Forrest where Green Tree pythons are found here the humidity ranges from 75% -87% over a year, so wouldn't keeping a bio enclosure set at a constant 70% with a computer fan for air circulation be ok?
