Indeed it did. unfortunately, im very new to this and have realized that a green tree python and an emerald tree boa are different....i really like the look of the snout on the green tree boa, and the colors when they are a juvenile...the bright yellow or crimson red is amazing. do they both have the same characteristics as far as temperament goes? is one easier to care for then the other, etc. i will definitely look at that book though, thanks.
