NEW ESU CAGE FOR BABY GTPS?

GECKOLAND Jun 26, 2005 05:01 PM

HAS ANYONE BOUGHT THE NEW ESU CAGE WITH THE ROCKS ON THE BACK OF IT? I'M GETTING A BABY GTP THIS WEEK AND WANTED TO BUY ONE OF THE CAGES FOR IT. IS THE TOP OF IT BIG ENOUGH FOR A HEAT LAMP AND CAN YOU FIT BRANCHES IN IT FOR THE SNAKE?

Your best bet for a baby chondro is to keep it in a tub until its old enough for a display enclosure. Trust me.

"The first impulse for many new owners when they get a new baby chondro is to move it to a large elaborate display cage. After all, what animal on earth is more striking than a green tree python?

The problem with this is that the larger cages do not provide the security that these animals need. The result is sometimes stressing the animal to the point that it will no longer eat. It is also very difficult to maintain the desired humidity levels in larger cages for neonates."
