emerald tree boa teeth

that was truly impressive.. I'd love to own one as a dis[lay snake only lol.. this is indeed not a pet in the practical sense.

Largest teeth of any non venomous snake, if I recall correctly. Not REALLY grumpy. When you harass them to pull them off their happy branch they will get nippy. Once they're out, they're okay, but each individual snake varies. :)

Per size of the snake that is true. Many people would rather free hand an ETB than a GTP because of their good natured disposition (for the most part, if CBB). Facts, not speculation.

Pretty, pretty. I love how she keeps moving around for that perfect position.

Bye-Bye Mr. Rat. XD I'm going to have to say that every time my snakes eat now. LOL

i can never remember which has the biggest teeth non venom per size. is it ETB or GTP?

as for anyone saying anything about their behavior, to each snake their own. ive seen some pretty nasty ETBs, ive seen some pretty aggressive GTPs also, but at the sime time ive seen some pretty handable ETB (one is a friend of mines pet, not a display animal, ive handled it many times, lazy thing...) and i own the tamest GTP ive met in person, when i first got her she was really aggressive but after a couple months she calmed down, now shes my tamest animal, i can give her to my little cusins and not have to worry about anything.

I love ETBs. Some are mean jerks, sure, but others are placid.

This is Ursula, my '08 female.

She's the nicest snake I own. So calm and gentle. I can even have her out while working on the laptop. ;)

The only issue with her is that she is a staunch live eater. She will not eat ft at all. But I'm willing to work with that as a trade-off here, haha.

I'm hoping in a few years to find an equally placid, nice male to pair with her and hopefully start breeding for temperment. (Differing opinions on temperment breeding - but I believe in it.)

i would not wanna get tagged by a ETB or a GTP..

here is a cool link for ETB.

Yes she is a northern. Basins would have a distinctive dorsal stripe, either solid or broken, as well as diamonds radiating from the stripe towards the tail. Sorry to answer so late, but I haven't been around much.
