Here are the latest pics of my ATBs. They are all very good size, great eaters with good temperaments. I hope to breed them next year if all goes well.

Looking good Tony!! I'd been thinking of getting a pair of ATB's, but if you're breeding yours next year, i'll just have to wait it out! :D

Awesome!

How difficult are ATBs to take care of? Temperaments?

ATB's are perrty simple to take care of, the only problems are that they need high humidity and a very warm f/t food.

Stick your hand in with an ATB and you will probaly will find out what its temperment is like :D, most are very aggressive, some are quite tame though.

Thanks for the kinds words everyone.

I have come to love ATBs and am hoping to breed these next year. Although I would love a deep red male but Canada has very few if any!

Matt.....lets hope the breeding goes well and two are yours!

As for care and temperament......I am not sure they are simple as I do not consider ATBs starter snakes. However if started well, I have found these three to be great. Solid eaters, all easy to handle with great temperaments. However I do not handle for long periods as they tend to get a bit testy hehe

I find mine are very easy to care for, not like my Emeralds of Chondros. I wouldn't say they need high humidity. Maybe the WC ones but CBB and LTC seem fine with just 60%. I never fused over the humidity for mine and they grew up just fine and produced a nice litter for me last year and have been at it again this year. I find tempermant varies. I used to handle mine and they we're fine but now they are pretty nasty again because I never touch them.
Starting the neonates was a pain though.

They look thick and nice!! Best of luck! We definitely need more coloured amazons!

Goldie is amazing wow. Are they CB or LTC? How old and long are they?

Hi Katt,

All three are CBB and just over two years now. I know weights but have not bothered with lengths. Although each have good length to them.

Once I measure them up, I will let you know.

Thanks.

Fantastic!! I really like how they look thick, but still are slender snakes.

Is Sunshine the one from Darren Hamill? I know he had some babies he sold, or was it yearlings? I just wonder how long it took for yours to grow from babies to such nice adults!

Katt,

Mercury, the male is from Darren Hamill while the two females are from Tyler Enfield (Velvet Science).

Mercury is slightly older than the two females. He is 2 1/2 years old while the other two are a couple of months younger.

What I really would like to add is a red (as patternless as possible) male to the trio. That would make breeding interesting.
