- 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)
MJ suggested these videos, and now I’m stuck in a rabbit hole and can’t stop watching! Thank you for the great info!
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!
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
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.
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
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!
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 👍🏼👍🏼
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
Great video, Gary! A ton of valuable information for new comers. I second Victor's recommendation for a collection tour!!
Excellent video Gary and great invaluable information for any upcoming new Chondro or Caninus keepers, keep up the good work mate.
Glad you brought you're knowledge and animals to RUclips. We needed this!!!
Phenomenal video...great info. One of the best I've seen on ETBs and Chondros! Very well done!
Thanks Michael!
Very Good Gary! It doesnt even look like its your first video! Keep it coming and I guarantee you that the followers will increase crazy fast!
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!
Excellent info for even those who just need to brush up on some things before feeling confident enough to spend the mula

Awesome video thank you I'm getting my things together and plan on starting my collection of Chondros and Emeralds towards this fall
Thank you, I am currently getting everything set up for my first GTP and this reinforces everything I am doing.
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
Great video Gary interesting and helpful hope see more man!
Wow luv ur set up n quality .. Great advice... I have two emerald 🌳 boas.. Big big females ...
Love the video! I'm looking to get a GTP soon & am super happy I came across your channel!
Love this video and your setups, my biak green tree python is on the way and this video was very helpful!
Hows it doing???
Great video Gary! I really like what you are doing.
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?
Awesome video, Gary! Subbed...hope to see the whole collection.
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
This is scratching my itch. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Outstanding video- first rate advice. Thank you.
Great video. Would love to see Ed make an appearance.
Nice vid uncle Gary!👌
Thank you so very much!
So excited to see your future videos. Thank you!
Great Vid! Thanks a bunch! Breeding video would be great future video ;)
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Gary!
thanks my first guy is inbound from a private breeder . . . .
What is he? Where did you get him? How is he?
Subscribed. Love your energy!
Fantastic video my friend !!!!!
Very informative, thank you!
Great job!! Very informative, clear messages, and great quality!!
Great video and great facility!
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!
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.
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
Great video! Can't wait for more!
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.
Woah she is gorgeous. Thanks for this video!!!!very helpful 🖤
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.
Looking forward to the next video's ! :)
This is awesome Gary!!
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.
good video. you should make a video about the regurgitation in these animal
Great video! How do you heat the tubs that aren’t in racks?
Thank you for being right to the point
Loved it and subscribed!
Great video, thank you!
Thank you Gary
Awesome Gary
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
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
When you talk about the 81-82 degree temp for the emeralds are you talking hot spot?
You looked gorgeous that day
Great video man!
Thank you!!
im your 1k sub!!! cant wait for more videos!! congrats on 1k subs btw!!
Thank you!
Thank you.
So since they’re more nocturnal and sleep during the day, do you feed them in the evening or later at night? Also what is the difference and why are designers so much higher in price? That question is how I stumbled across your video!
Amazing video! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
I have a panther chameleon and it's living art! Not to be touched! I understand this!
What ager would you estimate a 1 pound 3 oz Emerald Boa? Thanks, and thanks for making this video!
Awesome video!
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!
What if you only have one individual and a rack system doesn’t make sense? Use heat pad on one side of the Rubbermaid?
Ben, my next video comes out this Friday, however in my 3rd video, I'll be featuring a new product which addresses your question. If you have not already, please subscribe to ensure you see it!
Curious, is there any big difference between the 2? In terms of size mostly, I know the boa’s will get about .5-.75lbs heavier on average but every photo I’ve seen of full grown tree pythons they always look so thin.
I need you to provide me with some good and trusted green tree python breeders, been on the search for the longest,
What kind of sticks are those that they are sitting on and how did you attach them to the wall of the cage
Contact Specialty Enclosure Designs. They make all of my perches, as well as the perch holders. Thanks for watching!
I noticed in the background you have some very very dark green emerald tree boas. Do they start off lighter and then get darker as they age or can a baby or juvenile start off just as dark?
Thanks for the information, can you recommend me a good snake for beginners? Thankyou!
Need more videos like this ❤
Do you have any more from the Morelia family?
👏🐍🐍👍 I am a new subscriber here great video
Good info. 👏🐍👍
@@bronxballpythons9300 Thank you!
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.
Thanks is great video
How do you heat the rubbermaid tubs ? It doesn't look like there's any heating pads or anything like that in the video
Hi Benjamin, my Rubbermaid rack is heated with Flexwatt heat tape which is routed through the rack, and sits under each tub. (Managed by a thermostat) Hope this helps!
@@gsreptiles5606 thank you !! That definitely helps a lot
I have a serious question, my mom and me are looking to get a green tree python she has already bought a tank and I'm worried that it might be to big we were also going to do live plants and have substrate and water on the bottom how old would the python have to be to move it into a cage like this?
Hi Johnnie, I love your desire to have a bioactive enclosure, however due to low air circulation and constant high humidity, such enclosures prove to be problematic for green trees of any age and size. Most will eventually succumb to respiratory infections over time. For that reason, I highly advise a more basic (non-bioactive) enclosure, where your heat and humidity parameters can be better controlled. Thanks for watching!
I noticed on a Green tree boa the e d of the tail was black. Almost looked burnt.
Is this indication of permanent damage? Or is it just a color some have?
