I'm curious about getting an Amazon Tree Boa and have a few questions that hopefully somebody here can answer through experience.

I've read that they are a bit hostile, but how mean are they really? And do they grow out of this as they get older?

Another thing I have read is that they have musk glands and can emit an awful smell... has anyone here smelled this first hand, if so how bad is it??

How much do these snakes already cost? I'm in contact with two sellers, one for $200 including shipping, another for $130 with free shipping... does the higher price probably mean better quality, or is $200 a bit too much for such a snake.

I'm sure I have more questions but these are whats on my mind right this minute...
