i am in the middle of deciding wether or not to get a gtp or a emerald tree boa. i was just wanting to know a few things (anything) that might help with my decision. i do have herps and am familiar with them.and also if there is any breeders that can help me with my decisions about pricing? thanks

Emmies are a bit harder to keep from what i hear. Never kept them only kept chondros. Chondros are easy to keep. Give them the right temps and humidity and they will thrive! Breeding wise i hear the emmies are also easier and you don't have to deal with eggs. Personally i like chondros but if i ever got an emmy i wouldn't buy anything other then a amazon basin. Go to www.chondroweb.com there are links and people that keep them both there. Very nice place,

hey i have 12 gtp's,and a pair of 6 yr old etbs' and love them all, i find it rare to have any arboreals that are friendly as adults, but they seem to enjoy the same environments, all usually eat readily, babies are a pain, they are often picky in both species, i prefer mostly over 15 inches plus, beit the smaller the cooler in the born color, study the offers in kingsnakes classifieds you will note its not often you can find emerald babies available?? but some of these guys have great animals, and have been helpful, and quick in their turnover, please buy captive born, and bred, it will help the species on both sides(just my opinion)they also have better health, eat more readily, and adapt faster, research it see it, if its appealing and its something you like buy it theres no real way to do it thats better,d
