My New Emerald Tree Boa (DUW)

After years of research, lusting, and questioning if I was ready, I finally caved in and purchased my first Emerald Tree Boa! It was too good of a deal to pass up, and she was far to lovely for me to utilize my short supply of self control.

I purchased her from Ryan Burke at Clockwork Reptile Company. I couldn't be happier with her. Ryan did an awesome job of answering all of my questions and packaging her! She is a Beautiful little Captive Born, Female (around a year or so old, I think).

Anyway, here she is!

Here she is as a neonate! Photo belongs to Ryan Burke.

Shortly before coming to me, she still has orange hues. Photo belongs to Ryan Burke.

Thank you so much for looking!

Great photos! Lovely Boa

Absolutely amazing Crissy. I didnt know that they were reds as babies like chondros.

How does his temperament seem to you in your short life together?

What a pretty girl!:gj:

They come in quite a few shades, from deep red to orange (and every shade between). If I'm not mistaken, there are also a few localities born green.

Her temperament is actually amazing! I was expecting for her to be a little demon, but she's actually rather docile and quite tolerant to my presence. I'm just slow and gentle and she seems to do reciprocate.

Admittedly, when I first removed her from the delicup (as I was unpacking her) it could have been exciting. She gave me this little sniff, opened her mouth (I saw her teeth..and ouch), I cringed expecting the worst, and she simply shut her mouth (Thank goodness!). I'm guessing it would have been a touch painful, even at her meager size. :D

Anyway, Thank you for the wonderful comment! :)
