Atb OR Gtp Or Etb

Im looking for someone who has owned all three of these species because i am planning on getting an Atb and wanted to know if an Etb or a Gtp would be a better choice?
I know they are all genarally unless tamed aggressive snakes. I was wondering which one is more aggressive and harder to care for?

I would like to get an Atb because the heating is quite easy for me!
Suggetsions are apreciated

i reccommend the amazon tree boa. although amazon tree boa can still be difficult to keep, especially for wild coughts, they are far mor forgiving then etb's and gtp's plus they are alot cheaper.

all 3 snakes are not for beginners but i still suggest getting the amazons.

I keep all three and though ATBs are the nippiest of the three they are the easiest to keep. IMO ETBs are the touchiest followed by GTPs.

Having all 3 and working with them, I can say it depends more on your preference and what you want to do with them in projects or collection. If a budget is set the I would say ATBs is your way to go. I prefer the green and its options so I like the GTP and ETB more. Also if you plan on breeding are you ready to incubate or want less work like boas as the ETB are live young at birth. As for attitudes that can just about be any snake but as said above the ATBs take 1 place for that rank as I always much stand my guard around them, lol.

Second are the GTPs then the ETBs, but all of mine are just used to me or don' t want to strike - thank goodness. Also there is a variety of choices in ATBs for color that is.

Saw your other post - looking for breeders (read it).

Goodluck.

I quite like the fact that atbs come in a variety of colors are a bit cheaper, easier to breed and easier to take care of!!
