Chondros are cooler, better looking, friendlier, and easier, and they dont have huge fangs. Pythons have eggs, and boas have live babies.

Tree boas do not have FANGS, like chondros they have large teeth for holding on to birds that they would eat in the wild.

Emerald Tree Boas have much larger teeth than chondros. I would rather get tagged by a GTP over a ETB.

chondros are in the genus morelia and corallus are of coarse corallus, chondros live in the indonesia and png area where corallus live in south and central america, the other obvious difference being that one is a python (gtp) and one is a boa (etbs,atbs,etc), one lays eggs and the other is a live bearer, teeth have nothing to do with difference in classification. chondros also have visable differences ie head shape,scalation,pattern and size

but I prefer ETBs, although there is nothing cooler than a female GTP on her eggs
