ATB owners please chime in

I've done a buch of research on ATBs but their aggressive temper sortof stopped me from getting one. As far as a set up goes...make sure you put in some branches for perching...if you house it in a tub then you can drill some holes in the side and use bent coat hangers. Some fake plants wouldn't hurt, and make sure there is a water dish for soaking on the bottom. These snakes get all their water from dew on leaves or drops of water on themselves. Misting them would benefit them. They are a great, cheap beginners arboreal snake (Garden phase- $50, Halloween phase- $60) But be careful, they wont hesitate to bite and have longer fangs.

I wouldn't say a good "beginners" arboreal snake. Although they are more tolerant to temp and humidity fluctuations that GTP's and ETB's, they still require alot of attention to husbandry. Also just like you said, if you are going to keep one you should be comfortable with getting bit so to speak. Like the post say above, nothing will help more than http://www.amazon-alliance.com/
