That's pretty amazing. Even my calmest ETB strikes without provocation.

Are ETB's as delicate as GTP's in terms of handling and possible damage to the spine/tail??

I dont handle her alot.{BIG TEETH LOL} I dont own green trees so I cannot speak for how fragile they are.My etb is very thick and well muscled.Never had any issues.I find the little bit of out time helps her be more regular going to the bathroom.Had her for four years.At the start I did not handle her very much at all.She was very irregular..like a blood python.

From what I have read and gathered while speaking to owners of both I would say no. ETB's are not nearly as fragile as a GTP. Although neither due well being handled due to stress, The ETB is not as prone to injury.

Actually, I believe they can be more fragile. I know somebody personally who accidentally had their ETB killed because somebody was handling it, it bit, person pulled away, disconnected spine.

From what i've read and experience ETBs arent as fragile. When i bought mine from the breeder he took out a few neonates for me to look at and handle. He is a very reputable breeder so i don't think he would do anything to harm his animals since it would cost him money. I bought my little guy at about a month old and I started handling him about two weeks after i brought him home. You just have to be careful like any other baby.
