Which is more difficult to take care of, amazons or green tree pythons?

Chondros are not as forgiving to error. Though if you buy cbb animals and dont cut coners or try to get "creative" with husbandry you'll find a cat to more "difficult" to care for.

Though chondros are hands down less nippy than amazons.

Yeah, Amazons tend to be hardier but if you can meet a few specific requirements chondros are definitley worth it. Chondros Rule!!!

Thanks for the info. I currently have an ATB, and she isn't hard to care for at all. She's very tame also. I've had her for five months now, and I've only been bitten once. I guess she was in a bad mood. But anyway, whenever I see GTP baby pics, most of the time they are housed in some sort of tupperware. Is this the best way to house them until they get bigger? Or is an actual cage better to start them off?

Tubs make awesome housing for babies and yearlings!! See Greg's site for info on setting up a baby tub, finegtps.com

Many people switch to more attractive housing as the animal ages but I use tubs for adults aswell.
