    Awesome animals! My buddy has one and I love how long and slender they are. Are they all nippy and that just comes with the territory of owning one? I can hold his, but after a little bit, I'll be talking to him, and feel her try and strike near my face. LOL

    The Hedgehog ~ For the most part they are all pretty bitey...by working quickly I can pick some of them up and they're pretty calm just hanging out on my hand. Some though don't let me get near them without a hook, some let me pick them up without any problems and then will just bite me out of nowhere:D haha. I also have a few that let me work in they're cages without bothering to move, while others quickly go to attack. Overall most are bitey, but a great snake either way...just better for display;)

    The orange is so pretty! I've always kind of wanted an ATB, but i also enjoy not being a pincushion yanno?

    I do love their variation. That last pic is the best! Primed and ready for bites! Something interests them and soon they will investigate that with their faces.

    Have you noticed your candoia being a little.....mouthy? They aren't big biters (at least mine aren't) but if they are interested in something they will open their mouths, take a taste and decide to let go after they get enough information.

    Ballpython1237 ~ Thanks for the compliments...I like the last photo a lot also, I'd like to get all my ATBs out and get a photo of them like that. Glad you decided to get an ATB! I would suggest you sign on to www.boakingdom.com its a really good site solely (mainly) for ATBs. There are also several for sale at the moment. Best place to find captive bred atbs, as most you'll find on other sites will be captive born from w/c animals...and some at shows can be severely overpriced. Either way checking out the site will help you understand some variations before purchasing

    Cinderbird ~ Thank you as well! They haven't been too bad for the most part, a couple are bitey and a couple are handleable..similar to GTPs. I've been lucky with my Candoia...none of them are bitey at all...until recently. haha My paulsoni tried to bite me last week...full belly when I was cleaning...otherwise she has never even opened her mouth at me AND my australis female bit me once, but I believe she's gravid which is why she was bitey, because none of them have ever even attempted
