    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I was wondering is there any Arboreal type of snakes. If that is ETB,GTP or ATB that can be handle daily or every other day. Also from what I have read about ETBs and GTPs that the should be touched "as needed" at least the articles I have read online. For example, you are not suppose to touch GTPs before a year old because you might hurt them, does this also mean you are suppose to feed them in there cage? Because with other Pythons and Boas you should put them in a sepreate box so they don't think when you open the cage that they might strike thinking your hand is food. Is this same for Arboreals as well?
 
I handle my Emeralds and Chondro's, but I only do it a few times a month for each one. I would not handle them daily even if I had the time. They are nocturnal so they do need their beauty sleep during the day. As for feeding in a different cage trust me after your first feeding you will see why you will not try and switch cages. Baby Chondro's bones are fragile and you can cause very bad kinking if you handle them.
Good luck.

Thanks, Tim Rash
