GTPs normally aren't too snappy.....Biaks can be a little on the snappy side sometimes but most can be handled if approached correctly. Aru GTPs are almost always quite handlable once acclimated and seem to be the most common "tame" GTP. Manakwaris are not A species that I have any experience handling..so maybe wetceal can enlighten us. Arboreals just require a little different approach to handling than other snakes that most of us are more used to and a lot of the care and gentleness that those of us that keep them use when removing them from the cage is missinterpreted often by people watching as us avoiding a bite or fear/respect. I can't speak for anyone but myself....but for me it's more about not stressing the animal and being careful not to cause a spinal injury when getting them off the perch. Even the snappy ones though...once out will rarely bite the hand holding them..just don't breath warm air at em when your face is in strike range [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] and when shifting them from hand to hand....bring your other hand under and not over.
If that yellow male happens to hold all or most of that color...You have a gold mine [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img] Sometimes they change late though...with as uniform and briliant as that color is ....I don't think he's ever gone through the color change at all yet but..still ....beautiful snakes ...both of them.
