Awesome, I love so many of the python species, Your GTP is amazing, looks very content and docile.... I'm actually picking up a little Coastal Carpet today, and a Blood Python tomorrow. Good times!

Really?! I traded photography for "reptile credits" with a guy that breeds some nice gtp's. But now I'm kinda thinking that I'd rather have a panther cham then a gtp.
If I bought a yearling, Joe, and kept him in a small neonate/rubbermaid container that I've seen breeders use. How long would it be before I'd need to buy a 24" square pvc habitat?
Thinking about space and cost right now.

Regarding the enclosure size... you'll have to see how fast yours grows and use your judgement to decide when its ready for a bigger home. But you'd have at least a year, possibly more...
The reason i find them so rewarding is that I REALLY really like snakes. Beyond that pythons are my favorite, and the GTPs are the perfect blend of beauty, manageable size, and a good challenge!

Royden,
I've kept my neo gtp's in rubbermaids, but only until they're a little over a year old. At about 12-14 months they are big enough to go into a permanent adult cage.
As for what drew me to them, I've always liked boas and pythons as well and kinda saw the green trees as the top eschelon. Besides their obvious beauty, it's the evolutionary adaptations to life in trees that I find so fascinating and different about them. Kinda like chameleons. Imports can be difficult but true domestic bred gtps are very hardy, kinda like chameleons. They also make great subjects for display vivaria, kinda like chameleons. The colors and patterns of gtps are HIGHLY variable, kinda like chameleons. I'm thinking there may be a correlation....
