    Question Getting Amazon tree boa!! Looking for help on care

    Hello so I decided I am getting an Amazon tree boa but I have a few questions on how to keep it healthy and help for caging and stuff like that so my tank is going to be a 18x18x24 Exo terra glass terrarium with a ceramic heat emitter those are the only things that I have to use because I already have them how do I keep the temperature right because the Che is 100 watt do I put it like 6 inches above the mesh top because it says on the box if it's 6 inches away its 100 degrees and if it's 12 inches away its 83 degrees so I'm kinda stuck there also for humidity I think I might get a repti fogger but like do I keep the bedding wet or damp or dry or moist I have plantation soil from the pet store or if anyone knows of any Amazon tree boa care sheets that would be great thanks Aiden

    Couple suggestions:

    Get a bigger tank. That is way too small for anything over a year old.

    CHE: Avoid if you can. For ATBs I recommend radiant heat panels. They are less drying and will not melt or burn on contact. They aren't cheap but soooo worth the price even just for the piece of mind and safety, plus you don't have to fight so hard to maintain humidity.

    The bedding you'll probably want it moist.

    If you google caresheets you'll probably find some good ones.

    keep in mind that in 3months your baby ATB will be 3 months older. i don't know about their growth rate, but u might want to adjust for that. if they are anything like GTP's, they will do fine in 2x2x2 cube for it's adult life.

    and it looks like i forgot to link the care sheet. here ya go - http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...ulanus-amp-sp)

    don't forget to post pix of your new baby when it arrives.
