    Also never attempt to handle one during the night, they will mistake your hand for a nice meal. (learned from experience lol)

    Totally agree!

    I highly suggest that you look at picking up a juvenile or sub-adult or even an adult GTP instead of a neonate. There are several reasons for this, but if you're concerned about temperament, this is the only way to know what you're getting. I got my GTP as an adult and I am soooo glad I did! He is a perfect gentleman. He came out of his shipping bag gentle as a kitten and I can handle him whenever I want (except in deep shed or at night - they do go into hunting mode at night, lol!)
