Ok. Actually I've done a lot of research from the time I originally posted my first question and I think I'm going to get a leachianus gecko instead. I can handle them, they don't need a special basking spot or radiant heat panel, I can use the enclosure I have for a fully grown adult, they can be kept at room temperature, and I can actually handle them. The green tree python will be kind of a back up option for me. Their care requirements are so specific and precise doesn't anyone else find it amazing that they're able to survive in the wild? They're gorgeous animals, but the cons seem to be out-weighing the pros. Thanks for the information!
