You might want to rethink that mansanita (sp). If it isn't sealed, the high humidity required for emeralds can produce mold that would be harmfull, both resiratory and scale wise. Emeralds also tend to prefer level pearches, equal to thier maximum girth. Just relaying my experience.

Manzanita wood is perfectly capable of withstanding high levels of humidity. I've used it in many gecko tanks that have equal or higher humidity levels and never seen any mold growth. People successfully and easily use it fully submersed in their fish tanks as well, and it's worked fine. Part of avoiding mold growth is allowing for adequate dry-out periods between mistings anyway. You might be thinking of grapevine.

I do find the one back perch is a bit thick. But I'm going to leave it as is.

Thanks for the advice.

That is exceptional!
Great work and excellent attention to detail, especially on the wood
If I were an emerald tree boa, I would definitely want to live there!

Well, she ate her first meal tonight since being moved into the new enclosure. So I guess all is well and comfortable for her.
