How To Feed An ​​Emerald Tree Boa

Picture

Temperament

Emerald Tree Boas are naturally very timid and nervous but with consistent handling and proper care they can become more sociable and can potentially come one of the more friendly species of boas.  The snake isn't recommended for beginners but with enough dedication and research it can be done.

Venomous

NO

Lifespan

15 - 20 years

Size

60 - 80 inches

Weight

2000 - 3500 grams

Morphs

- Guyana
- Amazon Basin
- Patternless 

Habitat & Temperature

Ambient temperature of 78 - 84 degrees F
Basking surface temperature of 88 - 93 degrees F

Humidity

65 - 75% (non condensing, or no water droplets on the inside of the glass)

Where To Purchase?

Emerald Tree Boas aren't typically used by beginners due to their strict climate requirements and timid temperament but can be a good snake for any beginner hobbyists who's done some research and has a certain amount of commitment to the animals requirements.  Emerald Tree Boas can typically be purchased at many reputable online retailers.  Do some research about who's considered a good breeder and you should be able to find plenty available.  Emerald Tree Boas aren't readily available at most brick and mortar retailers.

Feeder Sizing

Emerald Tree Boas can generally eat 1 - 1.5x  the widest part of there body. However if your feeding 1.5x it's girth it's recommended that you make your feedings less frequent.  Be careful of what you feed your snake as certain rodents can have green belly, mites and other diseases if they weren't properly raised & euthanized before packaging.  

Available Premium Feeders:
We offer premium zoo quality veterinarian raised feeders such as Rats, Day Old Chicks & Mice here in Canada but there are many other reputable suppliers if your located outside of the country.

Feeding Frozen Vs Feeding Live

Feeding an ​Emerald Tree Boa live rodents can be dangerous and is not recommended.  Captive bred snakes specifically, don't gain the instincts that they normally do in the wild and are much more susceptible to injury. If you leave live rodents in an enclosure with a snake that isn't hungry it may even get eaten by the rodents themselves.  Live rodents also carry potentially dangerous diseases and pathogens that frozen rodents are much less likely to have.  Lower temperatures help kill and prevent growth of diseases which is why it's not only recommended to use frozen feeders for your snakes safety but also your own health.
