They have these enlarged frontal canine-like teeth that look almost like a pair of fangs! I have a pair of ATBs myself, and my male looks like a big version of this guy on here! =) This one belongs to the "colour phase". They tend to be a bit more pricey, but I think it's totally worth it! My male is definitely the more even tempered of my pair, however, they will BOTH bite me something fierce if I allow them. They female especially...she starts striking from the minute I open the cage! =P

Anyway, BEAUtiful snake here! A good temperment as a hatchling is a great sign for this species, from what I have heard and experienced. You're a lucky person to have found such a gorgeous snake without a nasty attitude! Haha. =)
Very true! I'm just going to stick with ATBs and GTPs. ETBs kinda freak me out a little! Beautiful, but a little scary.

My ATB is so well behaved, it surprises me sometimes! Its usually easiest to handle when it is sleeping curled up. I just scoop it up! It freaks out a little but no hissing, striking, or biting!

The orange is coming in nicely
