the facebook groups i’m in are so weird about owning GTPs. they treat them like collectibles and kinda laugh at people who want to give them large bioactive tanks. “sterile is superior” tends to be their motto.

I agree! After watching your video I’m going to expand my 2x2x2 PVC cube with a second one. It’s not a Zen but the people who built it are very creative! (Rat Pack Feeders). My girl is only 1year, she’s so long already!

bioactive setup is dirty, doesnt matter if you have cleaning crew it wont be enough. Just think of it like having a bio active set up indoors for your dog. Poop will just accumulate and the soil will be too rich to the point that it becomes toxic.

Thanks for the shoutout!!! :) Athena (all my snakes) has a bioactive setup for over 1.2 years since i adopted her. She has a bunch of live plants, ispods (dairy cows, giant orange isopods, and bunch of other species...), and springtails. I never had any issues, so I'm not sure why people would say that... I actually have an entire ecyosotem in there and mushrooms growing. :) safe mushrooms. (i use moss, cocohusk, reptichips, and forest bedding mix).

I think the bio active argument in the gtp world comes from breeders who have sold babies and then the set up is improper ie not enough foliage humidity off exc. baby gtps can be hard to keep alive it's not the easiest snake so I think it goes to if it's a sterile ish environment then you're less likely to loose the neo. and it's also easier to control the environment in a smaller container. I will have to find the episode where a breeder talks about why he recommends that. I just listened to it the other day.

You are possibly not doing it right then, you still have to spot clean a bio active tank. I had both bio active and non bio active setups and even when I try to make the non bio active setups as natural looking as possible nothing beats the bio active setups, my pets seem way more happier and show more natural behaviors in their bio active setups. It also more low maintenance and fun to put together. If you don’t want to have bio active then don’t, no one is forcing you. Just because it doesn’t work for you doesn’t mean it won’t work for other people, especially when they do all their research and know what their doing.I really feel like you should do more research before spreading misinformation about bio active setups.

Some of the OG Morelia viridis keepers believe that they will get respiratory infection if you keep them in a bioactive set up, because of the lack of air circulation and high humidity in the enclosure. Another important item is a an egg laying box.

Interesting. With any setup ventilation is also something that has to be a focus along with humidity! It is entirely possible to have a healthy bioactive setup that is humid and had good ventilation and dry periods as well.

As far as mist systems go, i like the idea of a mistking because they have such a reputation for quality and durability over time, along with being able to supply misting to a plethora of animals at once all on a programmable schedule, but I've found I actually prefer the look and performance of foggers over misters. And yet, I don't think mistking offers fogger versions of their systems.. but I definitely want something nicer, more towards the industrial side of quality. Does any one of you know a brand that offers that kind of system, or if I'm wrong about mistking's options??

No bio set ups for these snakes.Also,a 3 zone temp,I don't believe the 83 degrees on the dot.Also,a setup of 5 to 6 foot by 3 feet for an adult, in the wild, they actually do more vertical climbing than they do horizontal. You should really pick up a video of these animals being observed in the wild.

Regarding breeders and what they say you need to house these animals....ignore everything they say ( with the exception of environmental parameters ). They don't like what's been coming down the pipe line regarding how reptiles should be kept. It sincerely frightens them because there's no way they can keep that many animals with appropriate housing. I mean if Lori can do it....just sayin' 🙂 For my GTP I ignored breeders completely. Bioactive out the gate. Neonates of any species are challenging. I'd say they are all intermediate level because they need to get established on a diet that 90+% of the time is not what they are eating as babies in the wild. Neonate GTP's can be challenging if you don't have enough experience. I think breeders genuinely care about their babies so they suggest what they know might give a somewhat novice keeper the best chance for success.

I took in my green tree python as a four-year-old retired breeder boi from a friend who had to get out of breeding during the pandemic. Because he was a breeder Neville was never handled all that much. I'm trying my best to socialize him but he is very resistant to it and extremely snippy still.
