I never understood why everyone was so fascinated with my OS high yellow till I realized how much brighter her color is compared to the norm. Captive bred is a lot more but they are worth every penny. The one thing I learned threw keeping a Chondro is they are not as up and die as they are made out to be. Lot of myth dispelling and keeping advice and pointers in there. Good book to invest in I bought before getting mine is "The more complete Chondro" by Greg Maxwell. Any info or advice would be much appreciated.

Right now, I'm leaning more toward the Emerald Tree Boa since I think they're more beautiful, but I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at a Green Tree Python either. I've read that Green Tree Pythons can be pickier eaters, and some won't take rats (only chicks). Just wondering if I got a baby, if there's a chance it would be alright with occasional handling when necessary. Which, if either, is more defensive/prone to bite? Is there a difference in the severity of the bites? For that matter, I know both are recommended as more hands-off pets.

Which, if either, is more active or interesting to observe? Which is more challenging to care for? Is one hardier than the other? I'm aware that neither is a recommended beginning snake, and that both have very specific humidity and temperature requirements. Just wondering if anyone here has kept both of these species, and could offer any insight on the following: That will be a while off, but I figure it can't hurt to start doing research now. I'm seriously considering getting one of these two species of snake, once I can afford it.
