Best thing I can tell you is, if you ever want to handle it, dont get a GTP.

Bloods have a strike like a shot gun, generally are pretty mild temperament wise but the potential is there.

SD retics are awesome... if you get them from a REPUTABLE breeder, ask for the SD locale and they should know. Kalatoas are under 6 feet as adults.
You can handle plenty of GTP's, Biaks gave them terrible reputations.

Have said this before but you obviously chose to ignore it. The problem with handling GTPs isnt getting bitten, it is the risk of damage to their fragile spine and prehensile tail, especially as hatchlings.


Personally i would go with the SD if you want to handle it
