Green Man is absolutely right. Don't be afraid to ask questions. We are all here to help each other. If something you say or do becomes a problem, one of the mods will let you know.
Brandon, I aspire to arboreals myself. They are beautiful snakes, but their care requirements are more complicated than those for ball pythons. I'm not sure if anyone on here is actually keeping tree boas at the moment. If anyone is, I hope they'll chime in here.

I was considering getting one, but I think Im going to go with a JCP. I want to study some more before I move to aboreals... Smynx is right, they are whole different story then your ground dwelling herps...

As a general rule is it best for most arboreal snakes not to be handled much .. simply because there is a great deal of stress involved in handeling and removeing them from their perch
As far as a cage set up . I beleive a a longer than tall set up is better it gives you room for a larger temperature gradient and allows the animal to choose in my experience and experimentation with different arboreal cages and setups the snake will more than likely choose top perch over prefered temps in the long run this can and will induce stress on the animals
as far as size of a tree boa that highly depends on the species of tree boa and its gender basin emerald females can get quite large up to 7 or so feet and as thick as a mans forearm whereas amazon tree boas can be almost as long but much thinner bodied

Sore?
Hey Brandon!
I guess I'm slow b/c I didn't see this thread until today....in any case, just wanted to let you know not to worry about ANY question you may have.....NEVER feel as though you can't ask a question. A lot of what I learned was from the people here taking the time to answer my questions, some q's I felt were dumb, but no one ever made me feel like I was dumb for asking.....besides, I think we all learn from others questions....glad you're here contributing to the forum!
