    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.
