Yes Care Enclosure: A minimum 24” × 24 ” × 36” enclosure for adults, though 36” × 24” × 36” or larger is ideal. Provide multiple sturdy horizontal perches and dense foliage for security. Temperature: Ambient temperatures of 78–82°F with a basking area of 86–88°F. Nighttime temperatures may safely drop to 74–76°F. Humidity: Maintain 60–80% humidity with excellent ventilation. Allow the enclosure to dry slightly between mistings to reduce the risk of respiratory infections. Diet: Feed appropriately sized frozen/thawed mice or rats every 10–14 days for adults. Juveniles should be fed every 5–7 days. Lifespan: 15–20+ years with proper care. Facts Green Tree Pythons are native to New Guinea, parts of Indonesia, and Australia’s Cape York Peninsula. Hatchlings are typically bright yellow or brick red before gradually changing to green as they mature, usually between 6–12 months of age. Their prehensile tail and heat-sensing pits make them exceptionally well adapted for hunting from elevated branches in rainforest canopies. Show more
