    gtp have a bad rep for biting.. so what i thinnk is they bite due to that bad rep... because people are afraid of getting bit so they don't handle them.. people are afraid of getting bit cuz of the bad rep.. and the bites can be kinda bad because the gtp have the biggest/longest teeth of all none venomous snakes... ive seen pics and they are very big!!.. which makes them not for beginers in my opinoin.. ive heard if you HANDLE them they will tame out.. ive seen some gtp that can be handled like a ball python.. due to being handled.. but ive seen one at a pet store that NEVER! gets handeld.. and the guy said that would be the 1st one of all the snakes to bite you.. and its because it was never handled.. he even told me it never gets handled..

    Re: Best Display Reptile?

    I want a GTP so bad.... My wife has other feelings about it though.

    If you go the Chameleon route, definetly go with a Male Panther. They have awesome colors. Chameleons are true display animals (they hate to be held), chams that tolerate human interaction are the exception to the rule. So if you are wanting something you can interact with, stay away from them.

    Re: Best Display Reptile?

    Even though i dont own any, i have to say chameleon's would be awesome display animals. Anyway, i keep Chondro's and cant stop

    Sometimes they hide behind plants!

    Re: Best Display Reptile?

    I'm jumping off the bandwagon.

    First I would say a false water cobra. Just telling people you have a cobra would be reason enough. It will sit there watching you watch it and is very active and very fast, things that are exciting to look at. They like to climb and you can give them a semi-aquatic base. Just as beautiful as a GTP enclosure.

    Blue rhino iguana. Looks prehistoric, gets to a nice size and has a horn on it's nose.

    Last, but lot least, a basilisk. Love the name, everytime I see it I think I'll turn to stone if I look it in the eyes.

    I love GTPs....but I'm wondering why there haven't been more votes for the Chams? Is their care really intensive??
