Well I have decided to actually get 1.1 Amazon Tree Boas, they will arrive on Tuesday!!! They are babies & captive bred, and are fairly calm so says the owner. But hopefully with handling them regularly, they will be/stay calm. At least it's something new for the school shows  well when they get a bit bigger Marine

If you wind up with ETB's originating from the Amazon tree forest region of South America, you should be in pretty good shape with this species. I've heard nothing but heartache (And bite scars) occurring with all of the ETB's originating from Guyana, Surinam and elsewhere.
Good luck with your new Tree Boa youngsters and definitely, congrats on your purchase!

Awesome, your new 'ATB's' should be a great choice! Well I still hope in the future to get either a GTP or an ETB! But the cost at the moment is a bit much, lol. But I will have some in the future Marine

Good luck with that. Dont be discouraged, quite the contrary I have a Cooks tree Boa that is the only handleable one I have ever seen. I still wouldnt let a child hold her though, i would hate for her first strike to be on a kid. I honestly avoid handling her unless I have to prove her docility to you guys. Even after a month of no handling, I was still able to trust her just like the first time. The other tree boas were always "hit or miss" some days. Because of this I'm sure it depends on the individual temperment of the snake and respect you put into it. Have fun and get band-aids!
Bite that! -D&L Boyer

| Well I thought I liked Emerald Tree Boas more, but what is the point of getting a snake that will: a. Try to kill you when you are cleaning out it's cage. Think about the scientific name Corralus caninus. Think about it. b. Needs a huge and humid cage. c. Sits in one spot for about 95% of it's life. I want a Red Phase Green Tree Python so badly. My dad hates snakes, but once I saw this snake: 
I know I cannot wait any longer! I have to get a GTP.  I usually don't beg to get my parents to let me get an animal, but for this I would probably have to. But it is the most beautiful animal I have ever seen. And plus they can become as handleable as Corn Snakes. Who wouldn't want a Morelia virdis?
