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.

yeaa see this confuses me because people say GTB and GTP are mean and are agressesive yet I see people handling adult and babie of those species and there laid back ...it confuses me really

There are a few aggressive ones, but most just do not care. If your heart is set on a gtp/etb and just those then pick up an an already established cb adult, they will be a little more user friendly. If you are not 100% sure what you want then give carpets, balls, whatever a try. I really like my blood pythons, even though they do not climb.

Good luck

Ditch the tank, tubs all the way for young ones and custom cages for the adults.

I bought it from a person thats built especially for snakes it slides out and has a pin in the middle so it cant escape. also im sorta new to the snake world lol so whats a tub? and yeaa I thought about getting a arboreal cage from this person:http://pvccages.com/arboreal-snake-cages/ but sense so many people said bad things about GTP and GTB's i decided not to get it
