Cute little buggers you got there. The last one looks like it wants to play with the camera (or the man behind it). :P

Jennifer

LOL, yes he does! I kept having to push him back so I could a good pic, lol.

Ok, that is a cool friggin' snake!

What is an ATB?

Learn me 'bout 'em!

ATB is short for Amazon Tree Boa. Here is a very good informational site about them:

www.corallus.com

Marcus, I bet you'd do wonderfully with an Amazon Tree Boa, they are a wonderful species and are beautiful, Many people get them before dabbling with green tree pythons due to temperment, care, and cost issues.
I think you and an ATB would make a great pair!
Rusty

Well thanks for the vote of confidence Rusty!

And David, your third picture here....the one where it's looking right at ya, is a fantastic picture. Almost a 3D looking picture.

You should enter that in ROTM!

Thanks, Marcus....I really like that pic as well. Can you enter more than 1 pic in ROTM? I've already entered one.

No, we only accept a single submission for each contest now.

By the way, David, what type of camera are you using?

Excellent quality.

You should enter that pic in next months ROTM contest, It is ausome!
Rusty

It will definitely go up next month!

Marcus, I'm using A Cannon Ultrasonic EOS10.

Is that a digital or a manual? Or a manual digital?

Its a digital w/ AF.

Whats the male female ratio you have going on?

Man, those are so slender looking... Any plans to breed?

Oh yessir......I am going to amass a breeding colony of Ammies. They are my target species and I am scooping up any healthy ATBs that my shallow wallet can afford, lol.

That sounds great! How big do they have to be/how long do you have to wait until ammies can breed?

Sounds like a nice breeding project you will have! Good luck with it. :) And those last two pics are cuties. :)
Jennifer

ATBs take a bit longer than other boas to sexually mature....Its best to wait until the females are 3-4 years old and the males about 2 years old.

wonderful C . hortulanus you got there waw :shock:
(ATB is forbidden in france :cry: )

Why Kael? That's too bad. :( Are all arboreal's forbidden there, or just ATB's?

All the french animals are protected and so fobidden.....ATB's live in guyana and especially in FRENCH guyana ...so :cry:

corallus caninus is also forbidden
epicrates cenchria cenchria...

Thats stupid.....they don't live ONLY in French Guyana.

laws are often stupid... :wink:

aint that the truth!
