New Maroon GTP
Hi Guys,
I just put a deposit for a gtp,wich I'll pick up in a couple of months, now I do have a few questions, currently I have 2 setup availables, one 10g tank, fully planted, substrate is a mix of coconut fiber, natural crush charcoal, spagnum moss and tree ferm and clay background, other setup is a 45g hex tank fully planted, substrate is top soil, cococut fiber and cork (attach with GS to the back wall) background, both setup are with 12 hrs daylight.
Now my question is the GTP is a baby so wich is the best setup for him/her right now, I know later will need to upgrated to a taller cage, wich I already have, since he/she is still a baby I wanted to make sure she does not ge stress, I post pic for both enclosures when I get home, any advise will be really apresiated.

Re: New Maroon GTP
Go small until it has its colour change and then upgrade  just make sure there are plenty of perches at different temps and humidity and he should be fine
And dont forget pictures

Where'd you get a background for that 45g hex? It looks like there's one in there.

Not sure if they ship international but probably worth a phone call to them (or look at website in detail as I haven't)
The More Complete Chondro - Snakes - Books - Blue Lizard Reptiles - Reptile Shop

Thanks man!!!, but I dont have a ebook to download the book, Im waiting for my cousin in the Uk to find if that web still has it aavailable, if not, I guess I have to buy a ebook.... lol
In another note, I had a few questions for the heating, currently have the top cover with a piece of glass on top of the metal cover to keep humidy, Im using fish tank lights (white lights) for the plants, as you guys can see all the plants are growing.
Im planing to changed one of them on the left to a regular heating light for hot spot, is a 40 watts light to strong for a 10 gallon tank?
