Thanks! How old were the babies you were looking at and were they northerns or basins?

If they were still neos then they must have been northerns. It isn't uncommon for northern ETB neos to be born green, but most are born red/orange. I have never even seen a pic of a green neonate basin. Ones that are born the colors of the neos I posted, won't be completely green for 8-9 months and if well established will be in the range of 20".

Most reputable breeders have websites with husbandry info. There are two sites (forums) devoted to corallus: corallus.com and The treeboa org.
Breeders I consider reputable:
Tony Nicoli (Awesome Arboreals)
Matt Leher (GHI Reptiles) he is a member here (The Cleaner)
Rico Walder (Signal Herpetoculture)
Ed Marino (Don't know his website)
Paul Lord (ask Rico Walder)
Alex McVicker (the carnivorous orchid)
Danny Mendez (Urban Jungles)
We also breed (gemsoftherainforest.com)
For Canadians:
Rob McRobbie (don't know his website)
Annette Thompson (Wrapped up in reptiles)
I know I've left some out, but these are folks I know personally and/or have done business with. I avoid wc animals (been there,done that) and IMO the jury is still out on "farmed imports".

Re: Some Greeners
Once you have the environmental parameters correct, IMO, they are no more difficult to keep than any other species. I find them quite hardy and easy to care for. I was out of herps for around 20 years and then started back in with emeralds as my first arboreals. LOL, now they are all we keep.

Re: Some Greeners
Beautiful!
And not to sound ignorant, but I always get ETBs and GTBs mixed up. What exactly is the differences between them? All I know is: Beautiful snake!

I think you are confusing GTB with GTP. I don't believe that GTB stands for anything. With that said, the biggest difference is that one is a boa and the other a python. Both have evolved to fill almost the exact same niche, half a world apart. Basically convergient evolution. Oh and ya, emeralds don't have those ugly nose bumps! ;)
