Didn't Danny Mendez write that up?

That is a good care sheet though im kinda turned off by the "Not to be handled" stuff.I enjoy handling snakes can you still handle them without stressing them even if it were once a week?

ive seen some handled, and my buddy has a pair that ive handled myself, however there are some that do not like to be handled at all. So really its just the individual snake. But they are really a great display snake. I have an atb and a gtp and both of them hate my guts. Im sure it will be the same when i pick up an etb.

yeah its for sure an individual thing. I have an 8 month old CBB ETB and hes (so far) been really sweet. but at the same token you have to be verrrry slow moving and really cautious, because they dont really like you messing with them, they just learn to tolerate it. one hard, fast move puts them in attack mode.

are you guys keeping yours over water like the care sheet says?

I am not sure if he has released the copyright or just given a lot of people permission. This care sheet is on many GTB sites, most crediting him and with the copyright protection mentioned.

Standing water as substrate is a horrible idea! Would you like to take a drink from your toilet? I keep my chondro's and atb on paper towels:gj:.
