Amazon Tree Boa vs Emerald Tree Boa vs GTP
I am trying to decide on an arboreal snake to add to my collection. I will very likely have at least one of each eventually but am unsure which to go for first. I am not overly concerned with handling them (but it would be an added bonus if I could!) and will be doing lots of research on each before I buy. (I am currently reading "The More complete Chondro")
So I want your opinion which should I go for first? I am leaning towards GTP's at the moment but that can change. If you have pictures feel free to post them and any advise/resources would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
~Aaron

GTP > All
and i would say an ARU because of the blue, white, and green colors tend to look the best in my opinion.

I would say GTP. I have one now and also looked into ATBs and ETBs am found that people are having greater success with GTPs and also are having good outcomes with handling them. And Aru's are gorgeous. I have a Biak and he's amazing and taming nicely.

Yeah, I've been drooling at the GTP's they have at this site.

The black ones are really cool but not in my price range at the moment. If I get a GTP I would definatly like some blue on it
Anyone else want to chime in?
Thanks

I'm an ATB person. Their colors always amaze me as well as their incredibly thin bodies. Also I'm very attracted to their attitude I think they'd make great display snakes, especially with a fancy custom setup.
I'm not sure how forgiving they are in compared to GTP/ETBs, I always got the feeling that they were all about the same fragility-wise.
Anyway, I know that my first arboreal will be an ATB. Go with whatever snake you want, of course. Good luck and I hope there are pics of whatever you decide to go with!!

Re: Amazon Tree Boa vs Emerald Tree Boa vs GTP
I don't have any experience with arboreals, but based on appearance alone, I'd love to have either a GTP or an ETB...some of the most beautiful snakes in existence, IMO. I'll get one some day, and probably would lean towards a GTP, based solely on the fact that seeing them in the wild has stuck with me.

There's just something about the look of a snake wrapped around a tree waiting, that is simply awesome. Love these guys, whatever you decide on getting I'm sure your going to love it.
