Can anyone tell me about green tree pythons? How big do they grow? How hard are they to keep? Comparisons to a corn snake?
Anyone know any breeders? |

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.

| higher humidity, need more height than length, not really something you can handle which can be a problem e.g if catches mites how will you treat it? retained she what will you do? |

| 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. |

| Take a look at carpet pythons. They are a fair bit easier to keep, less aggressive, don't grow huge and can look stunning. |
