Well, obviously, but you can't deny that ETBs have impressive dentition.
Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!

News Flash: No sugar Sherlock. Just posting the best picture I've seen of the teeth on a ETB. I did not comment on handle-ability...and I certainly don't endorse the grip the guys got on the ETB. I'm sure it wasn't happy...I hope he got a piece of the guy actually.

The bold bit isn't true. While much more rare than red or green, there have been yellow neonate ETB's. There are a few pics here: http://www.d-g-s.com/daemons/morphs.htm

Re: Question about GTP or ETB
Gtp are more sensitive to handling when they are younger. They are easier to care for then etb. I like etb more due to the pattern, some have thick white stripes but the teeth are huge. Just don't stick your hand in there at night time. And you should be ok

Re: Question about GTP or ETB
I find that GTPs are much more adept at moving about when off their purches versus ETBs. When my ETB comes off her perch, she's a bit of a flailing mess to be honest. Not graceful. Almost seems panicked. To watch her in her enclosure, she's graceful. But in over a year of owning her I have only ever caught her fully on the ground once... My friend's GTPs both seem to cruise the entire tank at night, ground included, and are much more graceful when handled.
Yes, as it turns out, I have a super handleable ETB and she has two very handleable GTPs.
There seems to be more variety and locales when it comes to GTPs. There isn't a whole lot of variation when it comes to the ETBs.
Regardless, avoid fresh imports in both cases and buy only from reputable breeders.

Re: Question about GTP or ETB
I like the etb more due to the color and pattern but i would get a gtp first. Just due to the teeth size of the etb that's all. I think the the gtp are easier to care for bit if you want to breed the etb would be easier due to bearing live birth.
It's really up to you, they can both be had for around $350 low end from a reputable breeder so price isn't really a issue. Etb does get bigger length and width and bigger teeth. Maybe look into a ATP instead..

With gtps you get yellows, blues, greens and whites, and in a variety of different combinations and looks. There is a ton more variation.
