Green Tree Python EXPERT Advice IGNORED And It Worked
Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 09. 2021
- Green tree python care and Green tree python setup guides are all the same but I think it can be better. I took all of my knowledge of Green tree python care and Green tree pythons in the wild using there weather patterns and humidity ranges along with the expert lighting knowledge from zoological members to create the ultimate Green tree python bioactive setup to prove that the hobby can move forward in a better more enriching and natural way.
We add the correct uvi lighting for this species . The more natural inferred heat projector along with fully live planted bioactive Green tree python setup.

I'll pin the best comment
This comment is not!! The best 😎
As a GTP breeder with over 20 animals I gave used standard and bio active enclosures. Bio is nuch more challenging the issues are humidity required causes mold and mildew issues that cause respiratory infections and controlling snake mites is a nightmare
Nice enclosure! It really helps bring out their natural beauty. I never liked seeing such gorgeous snakes in barren setups. Nothing wrong with challenging conventional husbandry wisdom as long as you have the knowledge and experience.
Keeping a green tree in the bare basics is just about simplification. The hardest part of all this is putting together the enclosure that nice. Need more prebuilt options. For me, it takes an artist to create something like this. I manage some pothos, and anthuriums in pots. Wish I could figure out how to drape them in ways you have plants on the side here.
Thanks for the comment
Mad respect for you man. I really want a GTP one day but I've always hated their sterile set ups and the price of them always put off and going bioactive and getting it wrong. Seeing this has given me some confidence that when I am ready for getting one I can mimic their natural environment and have them THRIVE not just survive! THANK YOU!
When I went to zsl they were using deep heat projectors, the other thing I didn’t notice with yours, they had a dark patch up the top at one side. The external heat bay you’ve made, has inspired me for my own projects. I’ll be stealing this. Great job buddy
I got that idea from reptile systems. They did it on a planted paladarium I saw on facebook
I did the same exact as you been having her for a year and a half
Thank you so much for the most informative and accurate video I’ve seen so far❤️
Very informative I TRULY love the ideas you have for these beautiful snakes.... 💗💗💗
Really like this setup - one of the best GTP videos I’ve seen! 😀
I loved this video so much! I am quite progressive when it comes to pet care. I switched all of my reptiles to deep heat projectors, all have UVB, and they have more naturalist set ups that are larger than the standard minimum sizes.
Love how passionate u are xx
Awesome vid brutha..like your logic
This snake and an emerald tree boa are my bucket list snakes!
I’m so jealous you have one!💗
I LOVE that you ignored All that! I hate see GTP in such boring setups. They are gorgeous animals you display them in amazing naturalistic enclosures. I love what you have going on for your GTP
Hello great video information Richard
Excellent video, I was looking at either a GTP or an ETB next year, this would be at a pet rather than being fixated on a breeding project, I will do something similar I think. Be interested to know your thoughts on when they are neonates. Particularly interesting on the branch size piece. love the set up and choice..
One thing that peaked my interest was when people were telling you that you couldn’t keep them with high ventilation or screen lids. It reminded me of something I’ve questioned recently, and wondered if I could pick your brain on it? I’m in a lot of tortoise groups (specifically Herman’s, not something I’m considering any time soon, but I like to research sometimes many years in advance if I’m interested in an animal). In every group, there are people absolutely shunned for using wooden vivariums rather than a table, even if they’re the same size. I’m of the opinion outside is best and most natural too ofc, but for tiny hatchlings and those who need to have a place indoors when it’s too cold, I really can’t see a reason this advice is given. It’s because vivariums are bad for tortoises and give them respiratory issues apparently… but why? Why tortoises but every other reptile is fine in a viv? If there’s not enough ventilation, you can add more and also add electric fans to pull air though, so surely that can’t be a valid reason? Just thought it was odd! Of all reasons, I’d have thought they’d say no vivariums because it’s easier to make a bigger floor pen in a room but nah, tables still seem to come in the same sizes and be the most recommend housing for indoors. There was one lady I saw who had a vivarium because she rescued cats and they’d get the tortoise as it was in the living room. The group was advising her to get a table and not to let any cats into the living room, whilst she was trying to say it was impossible as it was the room in the middle of her house and temps were reading fine. The group was not happy she wouldn’t change to an open table and asked why she even bothered to take one in if she couldn’t give it what it needed 😅
As long as the enclosure can be controlled then there is no issue. Keep an eye on the humidity . Recirculate the air once a day simply by just opening the doors then there is no issue
One thing that I've found over the years is alot of people are stuck in the past . Just going of old knowledge and information when in modern times there has been so much scientific and tech advances that most of what we believed isn't as true today.
Plus Facebook is a solid toxic place for reptiles haha
The only thing I’d add, if you can get a viv that allows decent ventilation and allows for burrowing, so 6 inches, then there will be no issue, parameters are parameters at the end of the day. But I know for a fact they dig and can dig deep.
Looking at the humidity of said places of habitation, your looking from 40% - 90% humidity at times.
A table is good, but keeping that humidity is hard but can be done.
Either way, do what you thinks best for your tortoise, or perspective tortoise. It’s that simple. As long as it has a decent life, who’s anyone to say anything?
Amazing video! I keep my greens in a very similar style enclosure. I have neos in bioactive and sub adults aswell.Only difference is that i have waterfalls with fish/shrimp/yabbies on the bottom of their enclsoures and have either floating land or half land half water and i have perfect sheds. Great video! Nice to see someone else doing extra research to replicate their environment. I will be trying to breed in bioactive enclosures in the future aswell
Your neos do fine bioactive?
@@brandonmiller8971 yep, growing perfectly, never had any issues, perfect sheds all the time. I do keep them in very tall enclosures so they aren't near the ground. 30cm X 30cm X 60cm tall. I have shrimp and neon tetras in the bottom of one neo tank (half land half water). I made sure all the perches were over the land side to lessen the probability they will poo in the water.
@@shikitorandall2173 awesome. Aside from a water feature that’s my plan. I have a bioactive enclosure already set up with removable perches. I was going against what everybody told me because I know snakes and refuse to believe these things will just kill over from having a natural environment. Good to hear the same thing from a keeper
I have never really asked breeders or pet shops really about advice on enclosures all I do is look at what temps they would receive in the wild and what kind of strength UVB they would receive then replicate that in a bio active environment. All 7 of my lizards have UVB access I will sometimes see my tokay basking in it too. I have just purchased a 132cmx45cmx90cm terralantis paldarium from swell to make a Chinese crocodile paldarium you should check them out when you next buy an enclosure.
Nice video, just curious as to what the humidity in the enclosure actually is? Thanks.
I'm still new to owning reptiles(my ball python is still young).
But I am a very exprinced fish keeper.and those sterile setups remind of something in the fish keeping hobby.
Betta bowls where yes the animal is alive and will breed but it doesn't meet the bare min of care for thriving condations.
In fact a lot of the agurments I hear against reptiles needing bigger enclousred or cretain things sounds exactly like the agurments used against bettas.
I love princess 👑 Richard!!!!!!
When I type something the first selected word is princess (Richard) now
@@mrkrabs5729 hahaha. If you know you know
I always put uv in all my enclosures and yeah branches should all be different thicknesses so the snakes muscles get to exercise, I hate those plastic cells (vivs)
I got my GTP in 2005 and he passed 2019 I always went with a naturalistic with similar lighting. When I switched to the 3x3x3 cube he got a respiratory infection and died
Just another GTp last Friday baby red bro biak
When you switched to the 3x3x3 did you keep the naturalistic stuff or na
If the "Pros" say they can't live together how do they breed em?
got an obt from dave fisher would buy again
How big are ventilation gaps?
im sorry but i would just sit staring at her forever. fantastic snake mate x
When I got my giant african land snail I did sooo much research then i got him and started putting it into practice and he wasnt growing as fast his shell was brittal just wasnt a hardy snail I thought was probs bad genes. Once I started doing my own thing with him a screwed expert advice he is thriving hes absolutely massive really strong shell he has lots of climbing places which he loves utilising but NO don't give snails stuff to climb on they will fall!! yeah no screw you i'd rather my snail enjoy its enrichment than worry he will fall.
i asked about this in a facebook group and got completely cooked about how stupid it is to do bioactive and not to get a GTP lol
If you ever do need advice on these and don't wish to speak to the breeders, get in touch with Chaz at Snakes N Adders. There's nothing he doesn't know about these guys.
The first time you said 0.4 it was 1.4 incase you didnt see that in your device.
Is it still alive ?
The one thing you really need to change is the shape of your enclosure. Many people assume because the GTP is arboreal that it needs more vertical space than horizontal, but this is a misconception. GTPs in the wild descend from their perches in the treetops at night to hunt on the ground. If you watch your python at night, you’ll see they get quite active on the ground, so they really need quite a bit of horizontal space to be able to move around and stretch out on the substrate. Unfortunately your current enclosure does not provide adequate ground space at all, I really hope you can give him a better suited enclosure soon so he isn’t stuck up on his perches with such a tiny space to come down to at nighttime.
nope plastic-sterile-paper towel is not ok, and i don't care about breeders. i don't respect them much for what they do unless they are trying to breed endangered species. your enclosure is amazing and your animal is content in there i'm sure
I don't think they're saying you cant do it. I think they're saying that better methods are available. Sterile is best. Heat pads, tape or emitors are safer for these animals. If you keep like this and it works too that's fine but keeping them in enclosures the breeders keep them in are safer in every regard which is why they tell the buyer to do the same. You are adding risk to their health for the sake of how the set up looks so one could say its childish and selfish. And breeders want their animals to thrive so they tell the buyer's how to set up the snake for the best chance at success. I breed these animals and if they weren't given everything they need you couldn't breed them over and over successfully. It's okay if what you're doing works but saying breeders told you that you CANNOT keep these animals in other set ups besides sterile tubs is disingenuous in my honest opinion. Other options are available and will work but the best way to keep captive bred snakes is in a sterile environment.
-Just some guy who breeds green tree pythons and currently is keeping 24 of them
Hi mate, I really like your take on things. I’m new to the snake world and just came across your page. I’m not overly keen on racking (just my opinion) I like the way you have your set ups.
I’d love to have your ear for a few queries I have. Do you have an email or number I can contact you on?
Cheers
Liam
