Anyone know any breeders? |

Posted - 03/08/2011 : 22:26:26 From what ive read they are very hard to keep, usually aggresive, nasty bite, you can't handle them because they have a fragile spine, they are purely for show. Id never want one, but there is an alternative, the Amazon Tree Boa, they are still primerally for show, as they can be aggressive. The Emerald Green Tree Boa I believe is even more difficult than the GTP, so I wouldnt consider them either. Even before getting a ATB if you only have experience with Corns, id want more experience with more fiesty species. I only have a Corn but plan to expand my collection soon, and then in a few years time i really want a ATB. |

Posted - 03/08/2011 : 21:29:02 All I can tell you about them is that they have massive teefs and are apparently a fair bit harder to keep happy in comparison to corns. It's a bit of a jump from a corn to GTP apparently.
