Emerald tree boa
I am gonna be getting an emerald tree boa next week and I was wondering what is the wise way to feed him, in his enclosure or in a separate tub? Thank you.

No snake needs to be fed in a separate tub, and especially arboreal snakes... You can feed in the enclosure!

Ok thank you I just wasn't sure, I feed my ball python in a separate tub, because people say it makes them less likely to bite when u reach in the enclosure. I know balls are very docile, I wasn't sure how it worked with etb. Thank you for your response.

The whole "cage aggression if you feed in the enclosure" thing is actually totally a myth (created by someone and spread among so many novice keepers... who knows who).

Yes I agree, feed in the enclosure. Have you seen an etb's teeth?! I wouldn't want to be handling that thing anywhere near pre/post feed.

If you try to move an emerald tree boa in feed mode, please video tape the event - for science.

That guy on YouTube from post#8 just does not learn. Must have come from the shallow end of the gene pool.

The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
