Albino Darwin Carpet Python vs Green Tree Python

(pictures are from google)

What one would you rather own?
What do you like the look of more?
What characteristics of each do you like more?

What other colourful snakes do you like?

I dont think its fair to compare the two, they are both awesome.
If I had to choose which one to own and it was for visual reasons I would choose the GTP as they make awesome display pythons

I think in NSW the albino would probably win the contest as they are only a class 1 snake. A lot more people have class 1 licenses then class 2. I love them both, I currently have a albino darwin. They are great snakes.

both are fantastic snakes. my suggestion is a pair of each..

It really comes down to each individual keeper
what THEY would rather own
what THEY like the look of most
what characteristics THEY like the most

Personally i LOVE GTPs. They are by far the most interesting looking snakes you can get in my opinion.
Dont have one yet, but will be getting one after i know more/have a little more snake experience.

Albino, just because I am getting one from snake ranch next year
GTP is next on my list though, just have to get class 2 licence and convince the wife. Though I suppose my wish list also contains RSP's and a red belly. That will take a lot more convincing since she hasent even held my Bredli yet and I have had him for 6 months.

The albino was my first snake, however the GTP was the snake that inspired me to start keeping. However I wasn't experienced at all at the time and decided to go with the albino which I love dearly. I'm currently looking at getting a GTP for myself now, so I can't decide which I love more! Will have to see when I have one of each

GTP would be my choice. I have a darwin het, but the albino's just don't do it for me. I like the "normal" colors of the darwins.

The GTPs are amazing looking critters and would make a fantastic looking display snake as already mentioned

Aren't they cheese and chalk? Although GTPs look nothing like cheese. unless mouldy.

Comes down to personal preference.I swapped a couple of hatchy albinos for a couple of hatchy greens years ago with a breeder.He still prefers GTPs,I still prefer albinos.

If you want a pretty snake you can hold, get an Albino Darwin. If you want a pretty snake for display, get a GTP.

I have 4 GTPs and and albino Darwin....... i think my Darwin is my favourite. Purely because he is the most placid snake. The GTP are like statues during the day, put your hand in there at night though and you get mauled lol

 

[Waterrat]

You need to get the natives Jay.

 

[Jay84]

I've heard they are a little friendlier lol. Either way, they are not a very hands on snake though are they?

 

[DazTopEndPythons]

we have 4 albino darwins and 7 Gtp's and handle them all , is very hard to pick but i think GTP would have to win as they are always very placid , the albinos can get a bit testy from time to time

Non of the GTPs are very hands on snakes but at least the natives don't savage you like this little darling (on of my 3 stooges). Normally natives don't even bite in defence. Even after dark, once they realise that no food is coming, they are easy to pick up and handle.

This is my nasty mongrel:

 

[Jay84]

Hahaha Michael! Mine aren't that bad lol. I can handle them, they just think everything is food!
