Tips on owning?
Im looking into getting a green tree python and have put a lot of research into it, its one of my dream snakes. I have experience in owning snakes so its not my first one, ive had 4 ball pythons and a red-tailed boa.
From what ive gathered GTPs are aggressive and not really handleable, which im okay with, but are there any tips on socializing them? If theres a way to make them just a little more docile, how so? Ive seen its best to get a removable pvc pipe/branch and take them out of the enclosure on that before attempting to remove them and its best to let them approach you instead of picking them up considering their temperament and fragility. But ive also seen there are GTPs who arent all that aggressive unless food is involved.
Regarding the enclosure I understand a bioactive enclosure is best, are there any recommendations on live plants that do well in high humidity environments?
What are some things I should know on owning a GTP?

Focus Cube Habitats?
I'm looking into getting a focus cube, but not entirely sure what the best setup would be as they come with such customization.

Heat lamps vs heating pads/wire?
I've been keeping GTPs since 2015 and have heard a lot of conflicting feedback around whether heat lamps are ideal for them. I see a lot of the pro keepers decide not to use heat lamps.
I've personally always used them, as they seem quite effective for many reasons, but there are some obvious downsides such as maintaining humidity.
Interested in hearing others' experience and opinions.

The #EmpoweringWomen movement isn't merely rhetoric; it's a tangible dedication to shaping a more inclusive and resilient nation. The acknowledgment from the #PrimeMinister regarding women's equality is a crucial step forward.

Not too sure what to do?
Hi all,
My 2 year old Aru has not defecated or urinated in 2 months. Behavior is normal. Eating normal. Nothing is out of the norm and I don’t see any build up - body looks just right. Wondering if I should let nature take its course or perhaps put GTP in shower to run warm water. However, I’m hesitant to do that as I do not want to stress animal. Thanks for any input.
Ps. All environment levels are correct.
