tree boas friendly?

Are tree Boas easy to handle, aggressive, shy? How long do they usually get? Thanks.

They typically are biters.
I think they are fairly easy to handle but that really depends on your definition of easy to handle.
My amazon is probably between 6-7ft. Length isn't really something I care enough about to check though.
Here's a pic of mine, he's about 7yrs old.

I have several ATB. Some usually the CBB are very easy to handle and no worse than my other snakes. But others draw blood almost every time. Still love them

Very well said. Basically, your best chance at finding a nicer temperament in these animals is one that is CBB; preferably for more than one generation... but any of them can be little heat-seeking missiles! :D
