IJCP vs Amazon Tree Boa?

jack7777766 Nov 27, 2003 12:19 AM

Hey guys,

Im thinking of getting a new pair of snakes. I know the requirements and neccesities of both species and am sure I wont have a problem with either.
What id like to know is which you find more interesting and why, or if you have any pro's and cons for each that dont involve requirements??

Thanks
Jack

If you want to try breeding, go for the ATBs. They're terrific fun with their multicolored clutches as well as being easy with no incubating hassles.

If you want a pet then maybe the IJ is a better choice. While ATBs by no means all deserve their rep' for aggression (especially if you start with a cb youngster) you are taking a bigger gamble with them if you want something you can enjoy handling.

Thanks,
I think Im gonna go with an ATB, I just think they are allot more interesting, and sinceI am gonna breed them I really will look forward to these surprise clutch of colors. And I am definitely going to start with a cb baby.

Thanks

And that is my suggestion

Just to cover all of the bases, you may want to consider a pair of ATB's, a IJCP and a JCP (for a little added color). So far I only have one of each but the ATB is in a huge display case and he might just need a mate to better fill the cage.

Guys I need help picking one not getting 3 or 4, LOL!

Anyways Im pretty sure Ill be getting an ATB, I love the huge eyes and the crazy coloration.

Any other comments are welcome
Thanks
