Exclamation Green Tree Python

Just wondering if anyone has a Green tree Python, and if you could share your knowledge and experiences with me.
my husband and i have had our sights set on buying a pair in a couple of years time, but we have just been told of how different they are to other pythons. We were told they are only an ornamently snake and can't be handled due to how fragile they are. For example when we want to get our current pythons out and they are wrapped around a branch, we just gentle unwrap them, but apparently if you were to do this to a Green Tree Python, you break their tail!? Also their scales are so fine, that you can't even tell if they have incomplete shed left on them. This info shocked and disappointed us, since we have always dreamt of owning one, but we don't want a pet that can't be handled. If anyone owns one and handles it regularly please let me know so I can convince my husband to still get some.
Thankyou for your time.
