first amazon tree boa +set-up

[snakekid6996]

I finally got my new female amazon tree boa today! This is my third snake and so far she has been a handful lol. I've been planning this for months and took a few pics of her set up as I made it and her. Please let me know if You have any suggestions or questions :). This is going to be her thread where updates and such will be posted.
(Btw got her from a guy who goes by serpent Sam on facebook. He has some lizards for sale and trade and he's located in Indiana.)

She was very nippy at first, biting at everything that moved. However, after leaving her alone for a few hours she calmed down quite a bit. I got her out for about 30-45mins a bit ago and she struck when she was in her cage, but once she was out on my hands she calmed down and started to explore and chill on my arms and lap. I've noticed that she's not so much aggressive, just very nervous and easily spooked. As long as I take it slow and do my best to not restrict her movment or forcably move her than she's fine.

Handling a few hours after arrival is a bad idea. You need to let her settle for a good amount of time. Nice setup, snake looks good as well.

I know, but I couldn't help myself haha and she wassnt shipped overnight, she was driven over, because the owner doesn't live to far from me and had to come to my city anyways. Plus I'm going to be gone for a day or two which will give her time to settle down with no people bothering her.

Are these snakes as nippy as they say I do want a couple but have teangers in the. House and want to know if they should handle them or just me.

[snakekid6996]

Oh and I'm using a 28 radiant heat panel with a hydrofarm thermostat for heat

Obviously that's up to You and You're decision, but I will say that I'm 16 going on 17 and she is my third snake. It is very different holding her to opposed to a boa or corn snake. However, it's very exciting to hold her and I'm also learning how to use a hook by using a diy one a made to help get her out of the tub. I think it's a great learning experience. I'd just make sure they have some experience holding terrestrial snakes first. My biggest fear is if she nips me I might pull back out of instinct and damage her teeth. I'm trying my best to stay calm and let it happen, but I still flinch when she strikes. Luckily she has yet to actually bite me. Anyways, yes in my opinion they would be fine with the snake as long as they have some experience and/or Your help. That's just my 2¢ though

[snakekid6996]

Also, it varies from snake to snake obviously. She is a tamer one, but the male the guy had was apparently way nippier. I would talk to the breeder or whoever is selling them to see how each individual is compaired to others, or buy a young cb, because I hear they are easier and quicker to tame.

She ate her first mouse from me today. :)
