I have both etbs and gtps, they are pretty laid back in my experience if you know what you're doing. If you go that route then tread carefully because they will reward you if you stay on top of things, but will crash very easily if you slip up. Granted they are not made of glass either. Also, buy CB animals and if you choose farmed animals then make sure it's Bushmaster stock. Preferably you will buy from a breeder that will offer plenty of follow up support, which will be needed when you're just getting the little guy in the door, but once established they are very low maintanence and generally problem free. Handeling is debatable, I handle mine a little every week to make sure they keep good muscle tone. Removable branches make this a lot easier.

Carpets are fun too.

Good luck.
