Hi guys! I haven't posted as much as I'd like t on this forum, so I decided to become a little more active! I have a a couple questions if you don't mind!
I have never had a snake (taken care of them before), and I only have room for one. I do not want to get a ball python or a corn snake and not be happy with it, so I decided to get the snake I wanted initially (within reason). I am torn between three species of snakes, and I would like some guidance. I am stuck between choosing these snakes. Emerald Tree Boa, Green Tree Python and Amazon Tree Boas. From what I have read Emeralds tend to be more expensive, largest, but arguable most "docile". Green tree pythons are more expensive, smaller, and docile, but the price turns me off (I have a 600 budget for the snake and supplies which doesn't include vet bills), and finally the ATB which is least expensive (if i make a husbandry mistake, god forbid something happens it won't be a heavy financial loss), nice size, but least "docile". Is this true? Can an ATB be "tamed down", or is the aggression a misconception as it was with GTP and ETBs? I personally think ATBs have a lot going for them,I love the yellow phase! GTP's are a favorite too! I think ETB's look a little "bland", but that doesn't mean they aren't drop dead gorgeous! So, which of the three would make the best captive? Thanks for the help!
