From the reptile world
This week: the green tree python in profile, a look at the permit requirement, two articles from the guide and three short notes from the scene.
A tall, well-ventilated enclosure with sturdy perching branches
Warm area 29–31 °C, cool side 23–25 °C · 60–80 % humidity with drying phases · Level: Advanced
Giant snakes over 3 m require a cantonal permit in Switzerland — the green tree python stays below that threshold.
This is what an issue looks like.
What is in it

From the guide
