Okay my dad and me are going to be getting a Boa or a Python we have experience with them but we cant decide between them and we want to get something pretty to keep in the front room?Were considering a Chondro but now were considering a boa so now we cant decide?
So is it Green Tree Python or Emerald Tree boa, that you are trying to decide upon? I think the Boa has stricter husbandry issues.
those 2 animals are almost the same (you know what I mean) there are some small diffs in how to take care of them, but their very much a like in behavor.
I like chondro more than a emerald tree boa but know I want very beautiful boa or python it doesnt have to be a chondro or etb so any sugestions?
Chondros are pythons. Emerald Tree Boas and Green Tree Pythons both have very demanding care requirements and are not a wise choice as a first snake or for someone new to snakes. The caging has special demands as far as finding a happy medium between ventilation and high humidity while trying to maintain proper temps. Both snakes also stress easily and do not tolerate handling. Most often they do not show the stress until it's too late and they have started regurging or stop eating all together. Another problem is that most of the GTPs and ETBs in the price range for new keepers are WC or farm bred fresh imports both of which are prone to parasites, stress, and severe dehydration during the import process. Buying one of these WC snakes is basically putting yourself behind the eight ball. If you still insist on having one of them and you are in Portsmouth there arent any pet shops that I am aware of that would have any high quality GTP or ETBs suitable as a strong starter. Animal Jungle and Pet Paradise here in VB are good, but be careful and make sure the you purchase a captive bred AND born snake! A snake to consider that is partially arboreal, reasonable in size, easier to care for, typically docile, and almost always a great eater look for an Iran Jaya Carpet Python.
Yes i have considered there requirements and I was most likely going to get one from AnimalJungle and yah i have looked at the carpet pythons there beautiful?
Everyone its decided I shall get another Ball python I really miss my old one but there way cheaper than a chondro like a couple 100 dollars cheaper so I know there requirements so who thinks I am making a good choice?
Yah I am definitely going to get one again cause I really miss my little guy he was really cool only 27.99 for a bp great deal I think.
