Emerald Tree Boa (Adult)

Few snakes make a statement quite like the Emerald Tree Boa. Known for their stunning green coloration and graceful way of resting among the branches, these snakes are often considered one of the most beautiful species in the reptile hobby. They spend much of their time perched above the ground, quietly observing their surroundings and showing off the natural elegance that makes them so popular with snake enthusiasts.

This adult has been a long-term captive and is well-established. It is feeding consistently on frozen/thawed featherless quail and has previously been treated as a precaution for possible parasites.
