Funny I was just reading about these snakes earlier today. Apparently those big teeth are an adaptation developed because they eat up in the trees. It helps them retain control of their prey since dropping it would be a major hassle for them. Isn't nature great!

Yes, they are quite aggressive.

Somewhere between 6' and 9'.

Personally i dont know much but have heard that they can be rather cranky, i was lead to believe that GTP have a better temperment for an arborial snake.

[Patrick Long]

i heard they can get snippy, and that is kinda a down side with teeth like that.

I think they get a bad rep for being nasty animals just like bloods are "said" to be nasty, but they should never be freely handled like BP's or bloods. They get fed from tongs, they are handled with hooks. I don't think its a beginners animal, but they are amazing. I think signal herp has boas. They may only have GTP. Check around some chondros websites. They usually have a web ring going, and tons of info on handling, husbandry and temperment.
