I would recomend a Blackthroat(aka Ionides).

Peach throats are beautiful but are often skittish, nervous and quick to deficate on u to get away. Most of them are imports and hardly tame down.

Dumerils are very dillicate as young and are not ment to be handled a lot untill they get older. As babies they have beautiful bright yellow/orange heads, but as they get older, the become a dark balck/grayish color.

Black trees are awsome, but they stress very easy and are not meant to really be handled. They are more of a display animal. Also they mainly come in as imports that may have problems. I would not recomend one for a pet.

IMO Blackthroats(Ionides) are great. they tame down very easily and handle well. Babies aren't very delicate and tame very easily. Some have amazing colors. Mine has a reddish hue to it with bright colored yellowish legs. CB or CH ionides often look much better color wise than wc. A lot of wc ones are ugly and all gray colored. SHvar from the forums has an incredibly beautiful blackthroat Cross, that shows u how beautiful they can be. U can get a cb/ch one from Proexotics or from Serpentsden. I've got mine from Serpentsden, and it is awsome. Hope this info helps!
