Housing

Ok I've been checkin out some Corallus sites and I've seen some set ups with more then one animal in the cage. Is it ok to house 1.1 in the same cage?

Generally not a good idea unless it's during breeding season. It's the same with all snakes. ;)

I wouldn't keep emeralds together, since you have to know which one of them defecated before you can feed... 3 meals / 1 poop, so it would be quite a challenge to say '' Ho, thats surely the little boy's poop, he's gonna be ok for feeding, now!! ''. Its safer to keep them apart until you want them to mate...

Not Emeralds, but Amazons... however they still need to be apart ;)

Thats good I havn't been on msn much either, glad things are going well :)

What size of tank/rubbermaid do you use for mature ETBs??? I would be pretty curious about this one... I know my neo-juvenile will be ok in a 20 gallons rubbermaid for a long long time, but still, what is the average cage ( not minimum, but i would say a nice cage with some room for the snake to move about... ) for a mature one?!?!

Something along the lines of 36x18x24 is what we plan on using for ours as an adult (large Boaphile arboreal).
