GTP Advice/Tips?

I've always had ball pythons, but I'm looking at possibly getting a green tree python this year.
I've done quite a bit of research on them, and I feel confident that I'd be able to care for one. All the sites I've looked at all say 86-88 degrees on the hot side and about 80 on the cool side. Humidity between 40-70%. Just about every side recommends a daily misting. I have a tall glass tank that I could use(I have plexiglass covers for the screen openings for better humidity) and all the necessary equipment.

Any tips or advice before I get one? I want to be sure I know what I'm getting into before I make a final decision.

If you really want to get serious in owning gtp's the book " the more complete chondro" by Greg maxwell is a must have when keeping gtp's. I believe your temps correct but IMO 50% humidity should be the daytime low. The trick behind humidity and hydration when keeping gtp's is to mist heavily in the morning and then let the humidity gradually fall till misting again is necessary. PVC caging is my best recommendation for gtp's they don't necessarily need a vertical oriented cage but rather one that is tallER than terrestrial cages but is still wider and longer.
