Talking first amazon tree boa +set-up

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.)

Re: first amazon tree boa +set-up

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.

Re: first amazon tree boa +set-up

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.
