GTP question yet again

nogard Oct 04, 2005 11:46 PM

Okay, I have made a few stupid posts in the last few days, sorry to be a bother i just want some accurate research before I make the commitment to own one. Okay the question is, is there a difference in temperament between locales, or types, if so which is the most relaxed in general, I know that each snake is an individual, but which as a whole seems to be more relaxed, I dont want super tame, or tolerant, I just dont want the snake to snap if I am doing cage maintance, watering, etc..
thanks
Tony Butler

The Biak locale it seems are usually the least tollerant of handling. The other locales, if properly worked with, can be sweethearts. But as far as cage maintance: my biak doesn't care what I do in his cage as long as it's daylight and I don't touch him. They're nocturnal and lazy lol

in all reality i dont think it matters... i have heard a hundred times that Biaks are the worst, but i have 11 Biaks and none of them are "aggressive"... i think that the WC Biaks that came in years ago were nasty and they were labled as being nasty... dont get me wrong i am not saying they are all sweet, but i have an Aru that would rip your face off if given the chance... so with that in mind..............................

if i were you i would just decide what look i want in a Chondro and try to get one of that type... your odds are 50/50 either way...

good luck... and when you get one please post some pics... ohh and dont forget to make room for 5 more... i hope you have heard that they are addivitve... you can't just have 1...
