Arboreal, but small
I love emerald tree boas, but their size (according to my sources) requires an adult cage size of unmanageable width. I am looking for an arboreal species which does not need, yea which can be happy in a smaller enclosure of about 28 inches high 18 deep, and not more than 20 wide. I know this is a boa section, but any arboreal species will do - just point me toward something I can research further. Boas and pythons are my top picks, but I also like the look of vine snakes (which I will go read about right now).

Have you looked up rough/smooth green snakes? They are very small, but (I think) striking colubrids. Bright green!
They are unique in that they eat crickets - I was told.

I think only the rough green meets the size requirements. Yes, they are one of my favourite to look at, but I've read they're not the most pleasant to keep, eager to musk. I do also like that they eat invertebrates. I've considered a worm snake for that reason as well, and because they look like giant worms themselves and that's kind of cool.

I keep my Basins in these cages, a 18 wide x18 deep x24 high cage. The size you mention there is fine for an arboreal emerald.
This one is 3 years old.

Re: Arboreal, but small
Did you build that tank or did you purchase it somewhere? I really like the design and would love to know! Thanks!
