Adult ETB cage size?

[Zoe]

I did look this upline, but my results weren't very good :|
Anyway, I was wondering what size tank an adult ETB will need? And how big do males get? And females?
ARE they possible to tame?

Thanks :]

Id say about 3x2x2 is sufficaint for an adult and of course bigger is better. But theyd enjoy longer horizontal space rather than veritcal, so if you upgrade go longer.

All depends on your purpose. But people breed them in 2x2x2 no problems at all.

kovu,you say an emerald tree boa woudl prefer more ground space then aboreal space? From what i've been told by keepers and have read they are highly aboreal and would much prefer more height then floor space to slither on.

I would personally say that if you were to upgrade your enclosure from 3x2x2(which imo thats not tall enough) I would go 3x2x6 or even 3x2x4 would be ok.

ETB's will always search for the high perch, so all that extra height is wasted, giving them more horizontal space allows them more a of a thermal gradient at the high perch level.
