Good Morning! I'm the proud new owner of a gorgeous Emerald Tree Boa! This is our first boa, since we've always been the arboreal python type. There's such a wide variety of information of proper care and how to's on this animal, that I wondered if I could get some personal experience information from anyone out there. He's the most docile Emerald I've ever seen, and when he came into the shop I just had to have him. Here's Buddy
And his/her enclosure
Sorry, it's a lousy cell phone picture. Anyways, there's a ceramic heat emitter on the top that gets the hot side right around 85-87, the cool side is generally in the mid 70's. Humidity spikes to 85-90 in the morning and when I mist him again at night and than drops to the 40s overnight. The tank is a screen side and top Oceanic that's about 12x30x30. I picked it up at a reptile show for $40 and knew someday that I was going to have the perfect thing to put in it. Let me know if there's anything you believe I should change or tweak differently, supported by your own experience of course, I could read care sheets all day. Thanks so much!
My First Boa!
