Housing the Green Tree Python
Green Tree Pythons are sedentary animals, content to sit immobile on a branch. As such, they require significantly less cage space than other, more active species. Animals at this facility are maintained individually in arboreal cages, with the overall dimensions (H/W/D) of 24/24/24 inches. Other breeders have found it just as easy to keep Green Tree Pythons in aquaria. Natural wood perches are attached to the cage walls in such a manner that the animal can be removed from the cage, branch-and-all, which allows for cage cleaning or manipulation of the specimens with minimal disturbance. This is particularly important, as these animals are well-adapted to life in the trees, and it is extremely difficult to remove a Green Tree Python from a branch without a major effort.
