Badly wanting an aboreal..looking into gtp's and emeralds....

Sunshine Nov 25, 2003 08:50 PM

I recently started looking at all the info I can find on green tree pythons and emerald tree boas. Still can't decide. I want an animal easy enough to handle that the cage cleaning won't injure me, that will readily accept meals after a few months and is brilliantly colored for basically a display snake that will be cared for according to it's requirement for it's lifetime, unless it outlives me. I currently have BRB's and have had a corn for 13 years. This year I had a nice litter of BRB's, so I would say I am somewhat able to take care of the details. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what a good choice would be. I will purchase a cb or ch, but can't seem to find the pros and cons of the python verse boa.

Any replies appreciated.

Hi,
Since the care requirements for both species is very similar, I think it's going to boil down to personal preferance. My bias is for emeralds. Also I would suggest cbb as cb can indicate the offspring from a recent import that was gravid when brought in.
