Noob question regarding Boids

[Alexandra V]

I currently have an Abbott Okeetee corn, he's great, but not much of a companion (given as much a companion a snake can be). He tends to be pretty active when I handle him. I figure the boids are more docile and likely to just hang out.

Are GTPs difficult to care for? I looked into Emeralds a little bit and they seem to be higher maintenance than most snakes.

How do GTPs compare to BPs in that regard?

Also how important is live feed for boids? My corn eats frozen (thawed). I think I would have a tough time feeding live.

GTPs and ETBs are going to be a little harder to care for than a ball python because they aren't quite as hardy. But if you're looking for a snake to just hang out with, I would personally not recommend either of those - they have a reputation for being aggressive and difficult to handle. They do have strong feeding responses so feeding prekilled shouldn't be too big of an issue for them.
