From what I understand, the Amazon Basin Emerald's are generally less "zappy", much larger, and more richly colored,....and also much more expensive. I would suggest you visit the ~"Boas: Tree Boas"~ forum and ask those guys directly, there are many people that specialize in these animals, and their husbandry. They'll be able to answer ANY questions you might have regarding them. I've owned a couple Corallus' many years ago, but they're not what I would consider to be my forte.

There are a few possible draw-backs to these animals, and most of them are in the front of the mouth!
