ARU vs. BIAK etc

westsidestory May 24, 2005 07:20 PM

Which one to get?

if ARUs are "tamer" then why would anyone want an aggressive snake? Is there a difference? Thanks!

Chondros will always be chondros.

ALOT of people have some calm "Biaks". ALOT of people have some nasty "Aru's". Your best bet for a calm chondro- get one from a breeder (key word here is - breeder). Who can tell you the temperment of the chondro as well as the temperment sire and damn. Most calm chondros produce calm offspring, from my experience.

That is absolutely true. I prefer both. lol. Here's why one could want a biak. This is a 5 year old male that I'm fortunate enough to have. He's a total demon, but he sure is purdy.

On the other hand, white is nice too. I love them all. Gimme. Gimme.

As they've both said, there really is no way to say an aru will be nice and a biak will be mean. I have seen one of the nastiest biaks around, and he was absoutely stunning! I actually enjoyed him, because he was in a center island cage with clear walls and would follow you as you walked around the room. There are colorings on biaks that are wonderful, and there are docile biaks. Personally I kinda wanna get a nasty biak...just to have him always trying to intimidate me through the glas... lol...
