New Emerald Tree Boa Enclosure

[Mettle]

Hey Mettle, nice enclosure you have there.
i cant help but notice these pics are way better than the ones i saw on fury

hope the ETB is doing well, speak to you soon bud

Haha, yeah. I never posted the updated pics over on PFury of her in the enclosure. I really liked how they turned out, though. Thanks for the compliments!

Nice cage, how big is the ETB?

I'm not sure how big she is to be honest. I've never measured her length or weighed her. She's really not all that big. But I'm growing her slowly. ETBs being arboreal snakes have very slow metabolisms. So she only eats once every two weeks and the meal isn't all that big either, just a hopper mouse. I'll see if I can figure out her length though and maybe get a weight on her.

Very nice enclosure!
Just make sure to keep up with the maintenance really closely or you'll get molding and all sorts of nasties growing in there.

I definitely keep an eye on it. But you'd be surprised how easy it is to maintain a tank like this. As long as one is good about cleaning up poop and you do proper dry out periods between mistings it's all good. And my girl only poops in her water dish it seems so it's pretty easy to clean up, heh.

Great looking enclosure! Good work, more pics please!

I'm actually going to try and get some more pics tonight. Some of the plants have actually been growing since I planted the tank originally so it'll be neat to have some updated shots.

I just had her out really quick and measured her. (Or tried to, lol.) And it seems that she's just shy of 30" in length. I didn't weigh her though.

It's great having an emerald tree boa that you can easily handle.

If you have the room in there, i say throw alot more plants in, some pothos, philodendron's, etc... Good luck.

There isn't a ton of room, actually. And the plants that are in there take up most of the available room as is. I might look into air plants at some point though and attach those to the sides.

I didn't get any pics last night... My girl had a bad shed a little while ago. It was the first bad shed I've ever had with any of my snakes. We had turned on our furnace for the winter and forgotten about the humidifer so the house was pretty dry. Even though I mist her once or twice a day, I guess it still affected her somewhat, and yeah, bad shed. Anyway. She has a little piece stuck on her snout that I can't seem to get off so I'm going to wait til her next shed when that comes off to show some new pics.

since its an ETB i would suggest a larger water feature in the next cage, waterfall and pool, some guppies, and some dart frogs and a day gecko or two... all of that would look awesome !!! keep up the good work, i wish i had skills and resources to make an enclosure look like that

Lovely setup all around!
