Hi I have a 6.9-7ft female atb. Ikbow youre probally all thinking that they dont get that big or that it isnt an atb.I was wondering if anyone had any knowledge of any other large atbs.

My first tree boa was a monster, she was over 6' long. This was in the late 80's when there was very little info about ATBs. I didnt know about the humidity requirements, I fed her wild birds, pidgeons, 10 mice at a time, kept her with a black rat snake and probably didnt provide enough heat during the winter. In college I kept her in the top of my closet loose, so every morning I would have to go under my bed and put her back in the closet. I think the only thing I did right for her was to provide branchs for her to climb on. I wish I would have gotten some better pics of her to show her size.
