I think the biggest issue with keeping Gtp's is that most people want to save money so they buy an import over a captive bred specemins and they get neonate instead of adults because they believe it will be easier to "tame" them. In reality a dehydrated neonate gtp is going to have a high failure rate even with the most experienced keepers.
I applaud you Redshepherd for doing it the responsible way and cutting your teeth on a captive bred healthy adult. She is beautiful and I enjoy your posts of her.

I love the GTPs but the attitude discourages me from venturing into them. Is good to know that there is a rout to having a calm one that is easier to handle.
