Anonymous asked: Do green tree snakes make good a good snake for first time snake owners? or are they for more experienced snake keepers?
Usually folks recommend that you have some snake keeping experience before having green tree pythons. I did things differently, and got one as my first snake. Others have gotten them as a first snake as well. So if you’d like to go that route, here’s what I’d recommend:
It’s definitely possible for a first time snake owner to be successful with a green tree python—just do your homework first. :)

This cork bark log had been in Jabber’s cage, ignored, for well over a year. Recently he “discovered” it, and now he sleeps in it pretty much every day, then comes back out onto his perches at night.
(Bander sleeps under his half-log during the day as well.)

ask-lugia said: Aw geeze D: With that little info, I’d probs be more inclined to do maternal incubation and see what kinda temps the mom keeps them at. But then it’s not so good for the female :x Hopefully they’re hardy eggs!
lolnope. You have to constantly check them for…
Very much agreeing with you—get some food into Anders and let her recover (or should we now call her Isabela? ;). You’ve spent a lot of time and effort making sure those snakes are healthy—potential offspring are a fabulous bonus, but the parents’ health is priority one. Since I’m not up to speed on rats, do they even do any sort of maternal care when it comes to the eggs, anyway? I thought they were “dump and run” kinda snakes as opposed to pythons and their twitching beehives.

Before you rush out and buy a pet reptile, consider how long that reptile will live. Leopard Geckos can live for 15+ years. Bosc Monitors can live for 20+ years. Cornsnakes can live for 20 to 25+ years. Royal Pythons and Boa Constrictors can even live from 20 to 30+ years - a long term commitment…

Please excuse the messy floor. For size reference, the perch fits in a 3’ long cage.

Cheshire’s lost almost all the yellow from her face. Oh well. She’s still got a lot on her sides, and of course her yellow triangles.
I really like how bold her triangles still are. What do you use to line your cages? Coconut fibers?
Yeah, I’ve got coconut fibers lining three of my cages: Cheshire’s, Bander’s, and Jabber’s. Will probably just remove it eventually, though. Over time, it’s starting to come loose (I used silicone to attach it to the walls). It would be a pain to redo it, the snakes would need to be shuffled around while the silicone cured, and I don’t want to have to keep redoing it. Plus, it makes the perches harder to remove/put back in.
Still haven’t come up with an “ideal” cage setup in terms of both aesthetics and practicality.

So I posted the pic of Cheshire, it wasn’t showing up, so I eventually posted it again, and now I see they’re both there? Guess I’ll delete the second one.
