Re: My arboreal boas
I really really do. I started looking into the garden's, and had one in my hands at the last reptile show, but just didn't feel prepared yet.
Haha, how many people say that nowadays??
I need to look into them again : )
I'm not much of a boa girl, but the ATBs just have that special awesome something!
So tell me...i saw you posted which one was super evil...which one is the nicest? lol Does that term even get used for ATBs? lol

Re: My arboreal boas
Noodles (the light garden) and Sand Dollar are my nicest ATBs. The most mellow arboreal I have is the Indonesian tree boa.
Thanks, Aja.

Re: My arboreal boas
Yeah but how mellow is mellow? Like ball python mellow or like, carpet python on a good day mellow? (ie: only striking a little lol)

Re: My arboreal boas
The indo has never hissed, struck, or puffed up. Think ball python mellow but more active. The two Amazons would be closer to tame carpet python mellow, some days never striking, others strking once or twice. They don't do a lot of threatening, though. They either strike or they don't, there is no hissing or puffing. Once you start working with these guys you will learn to read their body language. They hold themselves differently when they are thinking about biting. But there are other times where they're just cruising up your arm and seem to go "oh, an arm, I wonder if I can eat it".

Re: My arboreal boas
lol awesome. The one I held at the show was pretty sweet actually, and I kind of regret not getting it.
I know I read my carpet python very well. I can always tell with her.
I was curious about these guys though, because I have not been around them much. Thank you!
My impression was that they are bite crazy, but that's just the clutter you always hear. I know better *lol*

Re: My arboreal boas
Some are, some aren't. I have a few that will strike at their own shadows.

Re: My arboreal boas
I think a lot of keepers (including myself) will only mention the bad to discourage new people who have little to no snake experience from getting one.
