Amazon tree boa caging

As a part of my over all research on caring for ATB's I wanted to see what some keepers on here considered a optimal cage setup for displaying these?

Re: Amazon tree boa caging

I would never house together other than to breed then seperate,
It was a joke, but if it opens a can of worms as in someone tells me how they prefer to house these snakes then thats ok. I was looking at exo terra vertical cages but after watching youtube and talking to some people im worried about keeping humidity rite in one of them.. Also after reading several care sheets im not sure about proper temps as they seem to not totally agree on that. I've just had surgery last week on my right hand or I would build a cage. But any way thats kinda what i was looking for.

Re: Amazon tree boa caging

sorta i wanted som sort of a answer and it seems that bad care gets answered quickly enough here. But it seems more like fewer people keep them.

Maybe it's due to the fact that some people don't have experience with ATB's as they do with ball pythons?

Anyways, ATB's tend to be semi aboreal. Not entirely aboreal as their relatives the Emerald Tree Boas. I would go with something with some height and some length to it.

Re: Amazon tree boa caging

i would go with an enclosure approx. 3'x2'x2' and make sure that it could hold adequate humidity while providing enough ventilation.

a nice sized rubbermaid should be perfect after you drill in a few ventilation holes.

Re: Amazon tree boa caging

I prefer Sterilite,j/k. I mean rubbermaids/sterilites their great for snakes, not great for displays. Even in low traffic areas like where I would have these but Thanks for the answers.
