I too wanted a GTP at one point. As mentioned, best to get a CBB one although people like Harlin Wall and Ryan Burke at Clockwork Reptiles are pretty good from what i hear. I backed out of getting one as i read quite a few stories of them just keeling over for no apparent reason. I would advise get a juvenile if its your first GTP. Much hardier and still young enough that you can watch the color change. I ended up just getting more boas and a retic. I prefer the bulletproof snakes that i can throw on me and drag around haha.
