Thinkin about getting an atb

[AbsoluteApril]

How big can they get? Also do you think there a good beginner arboreal snake?

I think they are a good starter arboreal but I am rather biased. Nothing wrong with starting with a GTP or ETB if that is what you really want and are prepared for.


Adult ATBs get about 4-6', keep in mind they are very slender and have very long, thin tails. The widest part of the largest ones I've seen are still more slender than, say, a can of redbull.
I didn't have many photos holding them to show size but here's a few that might help give you an idea:

I always like the way they will coil and eat while suspended
