on Amazon tree boas.I would love to get one next year but know nothing about them.Are they aggressive(im thinking yes to this one)? Do they make good display animals? Temps,humidity? What to look for when buying one(probably off kingsnake classifieds).

I hate to take people from this forum, but the best place to ask would be amazon-alliance.com. Really you could just search through the forum and find what you are looking for.

I dont have time to go over much, but yes they are aggressive and yes they make good display animals. And while looking for one make sure and get CBB. You really dont want to get an import, there are plenty of captive breed ones.

Amazon Tree Boas are awesome snakes, but they're not for everyone. They are snappy and don't calm down much either. It's also important to note; they have fairly large teeth and their bites, although not damaging or painful, can be pretty bloody.

When set up properly, they make excellent display animals. If not set up properly, the owner is usually frustrated and disappointed that their "tree" boa doesn't spend much time on their "tree branches".

Temps in the mid/upper 80's and humidity in the 60-80% range.
