before jumping to conclusions.... that pic is extremely blurry and is very hard to judge a snake.

The images to me are just to unclear to make my own assumption and I openly admit not having a lot of knowledge specifically about ETB's I can't "see" any problems. However with your/SPJ's assumed ability to point out specific things, I can now see "something".

I apologize, I was making assumptions myself which was wrong. I took it as the animal was unhealthy solely because it was being handled.

the snake is definetly a little"thin" i just think we need clearer pics to make such assumptions. i cant imagine a docile etb being handled close to the face as its practily asking to be bit.

I agree with Steve. That is not a stellar-looking ETB. Its looks dehydrated and underweight (even for an arboreal).

its nice to know that this forum is full of vets and experts
That means the vet that she has been going to for the last year, has go to be a "quack" and should not be in the vet business ans should have his liscence revoked!!
For one, the Emerald, she was used in shows at school, pet store and other places for a year and a half, and therfor was handle quite a bit before I got her. Actually I can show you 3 more Emeralds that can be handled with no Problem and one was a wild caught hatchling.
Two the GTP, I've only had for about a month, and was told that she was about 5 months at the time. I'm sorry I wasn't there to witness the birth.
Both Snakes are keep with the Humidity at or between 80-85% and the temp between 82 and 86 degrees.
But If you know anything about GTP and ETB than you know that it is very possible that they can be handle and that they can be very docile.
But everyone is entitled to their personal opinion, oh yeah that what has happened to this country today... too many of them

Not far from it. :colbert:

What I think everyone is saying is that they need more info.

I will try to get more photos of the Emerald, and pos. a video. showing clearer and more detail. Trust ME, if I had a doubt that she would bite, and I know that she has a mouth, and that she could bite, do you think that I would have had her so close to my face??? That my friends is trust and confidence in her. I am not saying that she would not bite, but just that she has never attempted to nor has she biten me or anyone else that I know of.
Sorry about the last post... just had to blow off a little steam.

I honestly don't care about the snake's temperament....but I know for sure that judging by those pics that snake is not in the best of health. It looks dehydrated and underweight. The proof is in the pudding, as they say.

They might say it, but they'd be wrong. That's a contraction of the saying "The proof of the pudding is in the eating", i.e. it may look pretty, but how does it taste? It's a perfectly logical phrase reduced to babble by the loss of a few words somewhere along the way.
