Hi guys,
I'm in the market for a display cage for my GTP. I have found one that I like which is made from raw wood. It is 3ft tall x 2ft x 2ft. Person at the store advised me that the cage can be lacquered to handle the high humidity.
Can anyone suggest a good product to use, I'm assuming it...

After picking up my first little GTP (on to my second now thanks Bryce) I wanted an enclosure that would really make her stand out. I had spent a lot of time day dreaming about the design and sketched many different combinations. I came up with a three in one 2 foot cubes. They would act as an...
Been out of snakes for the last 6 years but have decided to get back into it . Just thought I'd have 1 snake so got a jungle jag .... Then a pair of womas .... Then 3 albinos ...... Then a pair of palmiston jungles ..... Then an pair of GTP ...... Yep , still in my blood !
Now I have not been on this site long, and I don't know if it's just because I am an animal keeper type professionally used to educating children and the public, but I have found it a little disappointing and generally disheartening the way a surprisingly large percentage of people respond to...
Hey guys,
I have got a GTP which is just over 1.5 years old, and i love her. When it comes time to clean her tub if I have to get her out I will put her into a temporary tub so I can give the tub a good wash. Anyways, every time I do so, it literally takes me ages to get her off the perch and...
Hi everyone i believe there are a few people on this website that have complained in the past about how hard it is to get correct humidity/temperatures in the Exo Terra Terrariums. I will be honest there was some trial and error but i can now i say i am happy with the outcomes i am getting with...

Afternoon Everyone,
I was looking through the Keeping wildlife privately in Queensland — Conditions and restrictions. It seems like the Woma is no longer a restricted reptile anymore? If you scroll right down to the bottom it gives lists of what you can keep etc. Can someone confirm what I've...
Last night I lived my worst nightmare. Checked on my GTP before I went to bed everything was fine.. Woke up this morning and checked it again as I usually do and found the temp had dropped to 17 degree's!!! For some reason the power board's circuit breaker tripped through the night and shut...

Hello.
This Morelia was sold to me as a Morelia spilota harrisoni but when I saw the pictures of your Darwin Morelia and I'm not sure whether it's a Morelia spilota harrisoni.
In France the Morelia spilota harrisoni is a new subspecies described by Hoser. This is just the Morelia variegata...

In light of a recent thread discussing a loss of passion with keeping reptiles, I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea to start another on why we do what we do.

What particular animal, pair or genus keeps you interested?
What moments excite you most in general...

I love all the species we have in Australia but why can't we buy exotic species . Like different kind of reptiles , we get exotic fish , birds , cats and dogs. So why not reptiles?
Has anyone ever had weird herp dreams? I had one last night. Where I grew up there was a creek at the bottom of the street, (it ran under the road through a few measly concrete pipes), and when it rained heavily, the creek would flood and block the road. Anyway, in this dream there was a flood...

Hi All,
It's that dreaded time again (we just received our electricity bill) :shock:.
Could anyone offer any energy efficient advice on heating a fairly large python enclosure? It's approx 4ft(L)x 3ft(W)x5ft(H).
I have always been hesitant about heat mats. Are they safe?
Thanks heaps
Okay, so I have been wanting to upgrade my gtp enclosures from melamine to pvc, but I can't afford to buy 4 from pvc reptile enclosure, so my question is, does anyon know of anyone in Victoria who is selling or making pvc enclosures?

Hi guys,
I have been doing a bit of reasearch on incubators (bought ones) and would love some feedback on popular brands. I have heard the exo terra ones are unpredictable and they can fluctuate a few degrees either way. Have they improved?
I am planning breeding GTP's and would rather pay for a...
I recently bought myself a monsoon misting system to run for my GTP and truth be told im not all that impressed. I used to spray his tank every day myself and he always had a perfect shed but since i started running the monsoon, his sheds have become terrible, and are coming off in pieces and he...

I recently purchased a second hand double enclosure cabinet so I'm doing a bit of DIY on it.
Both sections have 2 x BC lamp holders so rather than get an electrician to re wire them , I purchased BC to ES adapters.
I have been told by an electrician that these adapters are illegal.
Is this true ?
So i have been nagging mum for ages about getting me a lizard (she get's annoyed quite easy ;) )
