Re: Active display reptile?
If you’re thinking small arboreal, an Amazon tree boa is one to think about!
Re: Active display reptile?
I'm quite partial to boas. I've got a female common and she is the sweetest thing. I previously had a BRB and she was also amazing. I had to rehome her because life stuff but I miss her all the time. She was never out though haha.
Are they similar care wise? I've looked into GTP a bit and know they have higher humidity requirements. Was already planning on getting a nice PVC setup anyway... Hm. I'll have to research.

I looooove carpet pythons. They are so incredibly gorgeous. How big is your male and what size enclosure?

Amazon Tree Boas are awesome, I keep several, but as far as a display - they are really only active at night and spend most of the day curled up on a perch (hidden if possible) or in a hide (photos of mine here:

A crestie would probably be a good choice, they are small, easy to care for and well, adorable. They will also hang out on the walls or on sticks/leaves and such instead of other active cute species such as leopard geckos that stay on the ground).
Good luck with whatever you choose!
Thanks very much! Yours is gorgeous!! I wouldn't mind looking at something like that all day long haha.
