I just got a JCP and I have to say that it is one of the the most enjoyable snakes I own. Easy to handle, and a real treat for the eyes! I do love the look of GTP, but I don't think I'd ever own one. I keep snakes as pets, not conversation pieces, so I don't see the point of owning a snake you can't interact with. (just my opinion, not meant to offend anyone with GTPs)
