Yes, true, but you should be setting up a functioning cage to keep the habitat requirements correct aswell, so the general conditions of the area shouldnt matter too much(unless its rediculous). However, a begginer should not be keeping and ETB.

I don't think your understanding what everyone is saying..... beginners should not keep Emeralds. Try your luck with an amozon tree boa first.

Well you have a lot more chances of loosing your investment in an Emerald that may get ill in your hands than with a future healthy Amazon that will make you proud...

EXOTIC FISH:

Great to see your interested in Emeralds, But Emeralds are not a beginner snake. They are gorgeous and very interesting but its best you look to have something much more simplier. I recommend start with Ball Pythons then Colombian Boas then Brazilian Rainbow Boas and after you have done these in a 3 - 4 year term, Emeralds will be much easier. Not saying it is 100% easy but you will have a better understanding of snakes and develop a understanding of there needs as long as you follow each ones requirements from experts. Also you can start with a Amazon Tree Boa and learn alot that way too. But Emeralds are the top of boas who require alot of attention and not much room for mistakes.

I know your thinking "I need, I want Emerald" but do this animal a favour and start slow and gain research and knowledge before you find out your having trouble. This is better for you as well as the boa.

My 2 cents.

Guys have you looked at the list under his name? All I had when I got my ETB was 4 balls and 2 corns and I made out great with mine. As long as he has had these snakes for a while and does lots of reading about their care as well as has access to a herp vet and only buys CBB he should be ok.
My concern is the temps where he is, too hot for an ETB, that's the problem. A very experienced keeper may not be able to stop one from regurging there.
