I am thinking of an emerald tree boa for a pet.I have a blood python right now.I use a cat litter box for a water dish under radiant heat panel for humidity now for my blood.I don't use substrate due to extra work and problems.(just newspaper)My cage has side vents.Would this be inadequate with an Emerald? I know they are in the rainforest. Harold

Harold,
Clean humid fresh air is 3 things you need to achieve. If it is a small snake I would consider a tube with vent holes and water bowl. I would mist once a day and air the cage out once a day. Temps can range from 75 to 85. Most importantly I would buy a snake from a rebutable breeder. I know Rico has several babies availble.

My present cage is an AP T-10 for my Blood Python.I know they like to climb(tree boas) so I would probably have to buy a new one.I previously researched info on emerald care and thought Vision cages were adequate.I don't know if this is the best option.Would I need to buy a mister or would a spray bottle work? Are substrates necessary?-Harold
