New to forum and Morelia viridis
Hello all, I am not new to snakes just been out a bit. I plan to get a GTP soon and want to ask a few things first.
1) will a 22"x18"x48", it can be used vertical as well if needed (75gal), tank work as a permanent home. I have an extra I planed to house another moray eel in but decided to go with a GTP if possible.
2) or should I just build a 48"x 36"x24"? I would be using a .25" wood panel and 1"X1" wood frame. Then fiberglass the whole thing and gel coat it so the interior and exterior have the same finish as the outside of a boat. It would have a glass front (not sure of details on it yet).
3) I'm having trouble finding a reputable breeder so if anyone could help with that it would be great. I'm just a little sketchy of pet stores and expos...
Thanks for any and all help
Antonio

Re: New to forum and Morelia viridis
hello and welcome
turning 22 x 18 x 48 upright,imo would not have enough ground space for an adult GTP mate
imo you would be much better,building the larger tank you spoke of

Re: New to forum and Morelia viridis
Okay so if I need to do the build cage for a GTP I think I will take my time and build in my free time. I will either continue on this thread or start a build thread if I can't find this one when the time comes. In the mean time I will be researching what type of herp I can house in my extra 75, I just can not stand to look at this tank empty just wasting space. The option to sell it off will be a last resort due to the probability of taking a monetary loss that I do not see necessary. If you have any suggestions aside from frogs, turtles or fish please share.
Thank you for the advise
Antonio
