- Information you should know before buying your first Green Tree Python or Emerald Tree Boa. How difficult are they to keep? Who should I buy it from? What should I keep it in?
Turns out you actually do know what you're talking about. (love it btw)
What a beautiful emrald tree boa! You're one of the few youtubers who I feel as if they know what you're doing and talking about. I'm only 5 minutes into the video and I'm already enjoying this. You'll be a huge hit in no time! (Also I love the comedy you added in this video, it makes it way more enjoyable!)
Check out Clints Reptiles great channel
very helpful, great video!
Appreciate the kind words (and have watched many of your videos). Thank you.
I love how informative this is! And that it caters to the more advanced keeper. Obviously as it should be, given the animal in discussion. But just in general it is hard to find good sources of further education for intermediate+ keepers in today's herp society, given how much we emphasize the new keeper's educational needs over that of the more seasoned ones. I'm excited to see what else you will cover in future videos!
Awesome video! Someone actually disliked this? Must have been Scali
Probably my mom. (She's never been supportive.)
GS Reptiles Its okay my mom is the same way lol
Straightforward, down to earth, practical information. What a rare treat on youtube! Definitely subscribing, and sharing this with a couple of people I know who are in the 'thinking about it' phase.
Sincerely appreciated!
I think it's safe to say we all want a tour of the collection for our next video. Great job Gary
Fantastic video. Thank you for sharing this information. I am new to Emeralds and just bought my first pair. I will have them soon, and this helped a lot with narrowing down questions I had.
This was actually amazing. I’ve been considering one of these beauties for a long time. I’ll definitely be reaching out to you for my purchase 👍🏼👍🏼
Gary you goofball, it’s so nice to put a face to the name after hearing you on various herpetological podcasts. More videos please, don’t even edit them, just give us more lol
Interesting I see alot of you American breeders using water bases. Us UK boys dont adopt this approach. Many methods work tho as you promote. Great video!!
Thanks for your input and thanks for posting. All of the best!
This was a fantastic video!
Thanks Brian. You're a fixture in my living room.
You did a fantastic job with your first video!!!! I'm so interested in Green tree pythons! I didn't know you could keep them in such a small enclosure at first!
Phenomenal video...great info. One of the best I've seen on ETBs and Chondros! Very well done!
Thanks Michael!
Just come across this video I'm going to sub in the hope that your future vids are gonna be as good as this one from a fellow chondro keeper in the UK
I won't let you down, Alan!
thanks my first guy is inbound from a private breeder . . . .
What is he? Where did you get him? How is he?
Glad you brought you're knowledge and animals to RUclips. We needed this!!!
Excellent video Gary and great invaluable information for any upcoming new Chondro or Caninus keepers, keep up the good work mate.
Thanks for the info man, ive been wanting one for about 5 years and I am just now trying to make it happen. Great info, subscribe to this man, he knows his stuff.
Thanks Brandon!
Very nice video ,,,,,, I did enjoy the education on the fact there of ' ,,,, handshakes '
Great video, Gary! A ton of valuable information for new comers. I second Victor's recommendation for a collection tour!!
Good info, I love these snakes, I learned that they are not for me (I love snakes that I can handle). Great video.
Great video Gary. 🙌🏽
Thank you, I am currently getting everything set up for my first GTP and this reinforces everything I am doing.
You have a great personality for youtube, entertaining video
Thanks Natalie!

Wow luv ur set up n quality .. Great advice... I have two emerald 🌳 boas.. Big big females ...
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Green trees are definitely up on the hill for me. Right now I'm just raising up my ball pythons for breeding.
The next step up I'm eyeing would be carpets or white-lips.
Outstanding video- first rate advice. Thank you.
Thank you.
Tremendous video, man. That's how it should be done. Very informative and well laid out.
Thanks Trevor!
Nice vid uncle Gary!👌
Great Vid! Thanks a bunch! Breeding video would be great future video ;)
Awesome video thank you I'm getting my things together and plan on starting my collection of Chondros and Emeralds towards this fall
I feel like I cane to the Right place here, I'm looking into getting my firs ETB and all this info is just so helpful, I'm hoping I can actually get at least a CB, even if not CBB but not directly wild caught, will check more vids about it
Fantastic video my friend !!!!!
Excellent info for even those who just need to brush up on some things before feeling confident enough to spend the mula
Awesome Gary
Fantastic video Gary, Really useful info for people getting into this hobby. Keep them coming, I dont usually subscribe to anything but this is great. who on earth actually gave this a thumbs down!
Thank you, Peter!
Loved it and subscribed!
Love the videos Gary you are talking 81 -83 on the hot spot right I am in love with this journey on figure out what I need to get my first chondro
Thanks for watching, Colin! 83 is perfect!
Great video Gary interesting and helpful hope see more man!
This is scratching my itch. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Great presentation. 👍👍
I have a panther chameleon and it's living art! Not to be touched! I understand this!
Great vid Gary I keep Aussie G T P's, we can't import any reptile down under, but the Basin boa's look striking. Cheers mate
For the most part I agree that GTPs don't like handling I have one maruke that might be the exception to this rule he actually seems to enjoy being handled occasionally
Nice job Gary, but one huge mistake!!! You said the Sanzinia will turn completely green. No way, it will retain the sorta white saddles. You should know that!!!! Just messing with you bud! Really, nice job and nice setup. Keep me in mind for some nice Northern hatchlings.
Thank you so very much!
So excited to see your future videos. Thank you!
Love the video! I'm looking to get a GTP soon & am super happy I came across your channel!
Great video. Would love to see Ed make an appearance.
Enjoying these vids, great information. Keep it up, seems like you have a beautiful collection by the way. Maby you could do a tour.
Great video Gary! I really like what you are doing.
Great video and great facility!
Subscribed. Love your energy!

Great job!! Very informative, clear messages, and great quality!!
Great video! Can't wait for more!
Awesome video, Gary! Subbed...hope to see the whole collection.
im your 1k sub!!! cant wait for more videos!! congrats on 1k subs btw!!
Thank you!
Hi Gary, I love your animals. Kind of off the wall question for ya, what type of wood are you using for the perches in your snakes enclosures? I love the natural look they give your enclosures. It's much nicer than PVC piping.
Hi David, unfortunately the gentleman who made the perches in my cages no longer makes them due to some health issues, however Specialty Enclosure Designs (www.specialtyenclosuredesigns.com), now makes them, and they are a great place to deal with. Thanks for watching! Gary
GS Reptiles thank you.
Great job Gary!
Great video! Would love to see videos covering the Northerns you are working with, and the Sanzinia. The Sanzinia in particular do not get enough love or representation in the hobby.
Woah she is gorgeous. Thanks for this video!!!!very helpful 🖤
Great video man!
Thank you!!
This is awesome Gary!!
I’ve always wanted a green tree python for a display animal I’m a small hobby ball python breeder just found your channel have learned a lot already keep these coming look forward to contacting you in the future for a baby
Thank you!
I really hope you make more videos on enclosure set up and temps and humidity and just make more videos period I liked this one a lot
Lol I went and impulse got mine I have done a little research on mine but I found him on Craigslist for free with his pvc cage in bad condition and had to help him
I bought my baby green tree python at petco. They had 2 for 500 each. Petco policy wont allow live feeding. Neither of the 2 would eat frozen. One died after about 3 months. I offered the manager half price which he declined at first but agreed on my next visit. I offered live as soon as i got home and it ate immediately. I misted 2-3 times a day until all of the stuck shed came off. I now have a healthy GTP for the low cost of $250
Idk if all of that stress and heartbreak is worth a $250 discount. Also a farm bred or potentially wild caught gtp is roughly worth $300.
Thank you for being right to the point
Looking forward to the next video's ! :)
You looked gorgeous that day
Wow Gary great advice! I remember you back on the mvf forum glad to see you still in the mix.
I just recently am getting in gtps again and I just got a Amazon basin emerald tree boa my first one ever.
Again nice channel and boy I remember back in those mvf days what a collection you had is Greg still around or Cathy?
Cool! 😀
I need you to provide me with some good and trusted green tree python breeders, been on the search for the longest,
Awesome video!
To guarantee your humidity level stays "SAFE" (above 50 %)
Keep a half inch of charcloal , soaking wet , with , light diffuser grill wrapped in screen (to keep substrait separate from the wet ) with your choice of substrate on top . The humidity is always avove 50 percent
The substrate is never wet
The enclosure never goes dry . My ball python has had full sheds ever since .
And I do the same for my 10 gallon that is filled to the top with ecoearth , and cork round tunnels for a boro box for my skinks
Both have irrigation pipes installed in each set up
but not important in a typical setup , as you can displace a little substrate , and , re-wet your coal or sand base
You can tell when it needs to be moistened , as , you will no longer see condensation on the glass
at the very bottom of enclosure , if it is a glass at the bottom ?
Hey Gary, you mentioned heating for baby chondros in snake racks and your ambient range for them. But what temperature do you set your thermostat to? I know every room is different, personally I cycle my room temps from 76-82F throughout the year to breed the various species I keep. But since you want them around 82F ambient I’m curious what you set the heat tape to in your situation. Great vids, thanks for the good info
A green tree python is my dream snake. One of these day.
Need more videos like this ❤
good video. you should make a video about the regurgitation in these animal
Thank you
I disagree on handling, but admittedly I don't know some of the species. I think it's how you handle. I also think there's a difference between not wanting to come off a perch and not wanting to be handled. It's two different things. If the snake is willing to go through the unnatural process with you, where there's a risk to both, it tends to be rewarding for both. My amazon basin demonstrates affection. He shows you he wants to come off - he cant do it himself. it's painful every time, but once hes off, he cuddles n rubs his chin on you and stuff. Never would have seen it if I didn't pull him off. He also has times he tells me he doesnt want to. These aren't that different from northerns. A captive bred northern is prob similar temperment. You can't handle them as much as a boa and its on their schedule and thats true.
Gary,
Winslow Murdoch here. When you have hatchling GTPs, would be great to do a first feeding (or, not feeding yet) video.
Also curious about maintaining ambient temps for babies and adults.
Any thoughts about UVB and color and pattern development?
FYI, I am having some success with low wattage LED lights as heat in ambient temperature maintained rooms.
I agree with a room air purifier that moves air.
Also, Prodex insulation, AKA Reflectix, is a game changer for snake room and cage specific insulation that is not very flammable, acts as vapor and air barrier and heat insulator.
BTW, I still have and use your neodesha 48 inch wide cages and three stack rack that you delivered to my house almost 20 years ago.
Great video, thank you!
Thanks is great video
1:13 instant sub
He actually is gorgeous af...I instantly subbed too lol
Great video! Would like to see more info. Just getting back into etb's after a 20 yr break. I just picked up a w/c northern, so far doing excellent. I do have a fair amount of experience with w/c. Quick ? Who do you get your cages from, am getting dissillusioned with AP. Thanks again!
👏🐍🐍👍 I am a new subscriber here great video
Good info. 👏🐍👍
@@bronxballpythons9300 Thank you!
When you talk about the 81-82 degree temp for the emeralds are you talking hot spot?
Two of the most important things to ask yourself before buying a reptile,
Whats your plan if you die or are hospitalized , who will care for them in your absence?
Whats your back up plan for the possibility of a long term loss of power and are you in possession of what you need before it happens?
I just want to say that no snake in my opinion snakes don't attack they defend they are not aggressive snake's don't actively seek people out and bite them they are generally scared and defensive
Tom Crutchfield said it best true magic and understanding happens when the keeper and the kept lose their fear that's when the real magic happens
