I don't know what you gathered from my post but in no way did I knock emeralds. All I said is they are a little harder mainly to do with the fact that they never go to the ground so you cannot count on them going to the floor for heat. Can you argue that emeralds do not go to the floor and amazons do? It also seems to me that amazons do better in slightly less than perfect humidity levels. I would say the same for chondros, they are hardest to keep...eventhough I do not keep them, I have looked into chondro investments for a while and three people I talked to buying trios ended up with dead animals...how many eggs go bad that you know of. I may not keep Emeralds, but I certainly am close enough in the hobby to have plenty of friends who do and I just pass what I hear. I also believe my statement was "Ill speak for ATB" and I said that ATB's you can mostly expect to get bit and it is rare occasions they don't. I never said a word about emerald temperment since I don't keep them and I can't judge on something I don't have multiple animal experience on. I did say if you do get bit, it will be fun since they have impressive teeth...you don't want to argue that do you...I have seen them eventhough I don't keep them...they are big! calm down and dont't get mad...I didn't insult your emeralds personality all I did was speak for ATB's and I spoke of their flaws too. We can all live longer if we don't get worked up over little things : )
