GTP's rock. I'm going to be getting one after I get some other stuff straight. I have that book he's referring to, and the one prior to that, though I borrowed from a friend. I can help you if you have a general idea what you're looking for.Originally Posted by _Victor_
From what I have read, the GTP is much easier to care for. ETB's are more expensive, have more exacting care requirements, and have regurgitation problems. You might require stitches if an ETB bit you, they have largest teeth of any nonvenomous snake (proportionally). A GTP has more color variation, is a little less pricey, and in my opinion, more beautiful overall. this might be a bit biased, as the green tree python is my favorite snake. If you are serious about the GTP, i would purchase greg maxwells 'The more complete chondro'... it's quite expensive for a hard copy, but it is not that expensive if you choose to get it on your nook or kindle
As he said ETB have some insanely large front teeth versus the GTP. Though they both have enlarged teeth due to holding their prey while perched, the ETB will have larger teeth:
I know a guy who was bit on the hand and due to the nerves getting hit he didn't even realize it. I think it took close to a year for him to get full feeling back in his hand.
