    Post Your Tree Boas
    Since there wasn't a Tree Boa picture thread, I thought it might be nice to have one.

    So, Post your Tree Boas! Let's see them all, Amazon Tree Boas, Emeralds, Cooks, Solomon Island, and whatever I might have missed. I love Tree Boas and I've love to see more pictures of them!

    Thanks so much! :)

    Q: Are they like GTBs where they curl up on a branch? Most of the pictures recently of just Tree Boas are unwinded pictures.

    They're so pretty! That red one is beautiful!

    There are Green Tree Pythons and Emerald Tree Boas, both hang over branches and look similar. There are subtle differences in looks, but they are both highly arboreal.

    Amazon Tree Boas are also extremely arboreal, but don't quiet coil quiet like GTPs/ETBs. They hang off branches and I've seen them coil similar, but not quiet the same. Amazon Tree Boas will also spend almost an equal amount of time on the floor of their cage. Especially if they are being brats and don't like their perches. :D

    Unlike ETBs/GTPs, they also don't like straight perches. They like nooks and crannies on slanted driftwood. So, instead of draping themselves like ETBs/GTPs, they more perch and wait for you to stick your hand in there for a nice little love nibble. :devilish:

    I stalked a few reptile classified sites until I found one I really liked. I forgot who exactly I bought him from. However, Ghi Reptiles should have some lovely ATBs soon.

    He has Red, Yellows, Oranges, Tiger, Candy Canes, Calico, etc. I'd love to get my hands on a Calico and Candy Cane. :D

    Sorry, forgot to post the link. :)

    Yes, Ghi Reptiles has some of the nicest ATBs you can find. Though there are some really nice ones on KS right now.

    I'm glad I'm broke right now, otherwise I'd have 2-3 more ATBs. :D

    Re: Post Your Tree Boas
    For the people with ATB's how is their temperament? Do they musk and strike a lot? Also if so do they calm down with handling and age?

    Re: Post Your Tree Boas
    :please:Ive had mine for about 3months. When I held him in the store he struck at my face twice, luckily I was fast enough not to be bitten. Since Ive had him home Ive held him a few times without any musking or bite attempts. He seems as cool as my other snakes, but that doesnt prevent me from sweating bullets when he starts to make his way close to my face.

    I have worked with multiple Amazon Tree Boas and I would consider all of them aggressive. Some less than others, but they are probably the most aggressive Tree Boa.

    I've only been musked once by my red male, so they don't seem to be horrible muskers.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Well so far with mine i havent been musked and hardly handle him, but he loves trying to bite me. It takes me about a half hour to 45 minutes to get him out of the cage for cleaning, because he thinks im his nemesis or something. Lots of fun and i love him to death.

    Beautiful ATB. I think that is the first picture I have seen of someone actually holding an ATB. Does he actually let you hold him?

    waltah!
    Re: Post Your Tree Boas
    Yeah he's not too bad when it comes to handling. I would not take him out for long periods of time since I think he would grow tired of it. He's never bitten or even struck at me.

    Just make sure that you do your research first and try and get a captive bred (us) animal, because normally w/c etb's and atb's are loaded with parasites. Good luck:gj:

    Thanks, I have already done so much research and I would get one now but I am going to college in 2 years and wouldn't be able to take the snake. I have a large list of snakes I want once I move out of the dorm once I'm in college. I'll just have to wait.
