Re: Hey
Hello and welcome! Do you let the humidity drop down some? I ask because if you keep it at 95% all the time you'll in up with a mold issue. An maybe a sick snake. I would turn the humidifier off a couple time a day or over night and let it dry out a bit. You can let it drop as low as 60%. Can't wait to see pics.

Re: Hey
With my guys that need higher humidity i tend to spray well and then let it dry to about 45-50% humidity and then spray again. If you think about their natural encvironment then the humidity is never constant.

Re: Hey
Thanks for the warm welcome, and the advice. I have turned the humidifer down to 90%, it's running from 10am - 6pm. After that it's turned off. I'm also using cypress mulch as substrate, this is replaced each week so hopefully mould shouldn't become a problem,but I will keep a close eye on it. Once again thank you for the advice and tips

Re: Hey
I would have said the same about the humidity.
Anyways, welcome.~ And you know Green Tree Pythons are mostly for show, right? I heard they got some nasty attitudes on 'em, mostly a snake for display. Oh, they also got some pretty large fangs, so if you get bitten, it's gonna be a doozie. That's pretty much all I know about 'em.

I believe GTP and ETB both have refangs to help them hold on to food while hanging upside down from trees.
