Emerald Tree Boa Care & Setup

[@chd7946]

Pretty cool and clean setup, wondering could I know how you setup the light? I see you have five bulbs, I know the red is for heat, what else other four?

[@moeebrahim6173]

Really Impressive video. Thank you! Have been watching ETB and GTP videos for days. Your's has been probably the best in terms of housing, care, temp and humidity. Straight to the point and effective. Definitely know what you're doing n tank is set up very effectively. Love the simple steps you took to capture humidity. Great work...keep it up

[@ponyboy5.0coyotewild63]

Really like your vids. Have a etb. Have been using all your advice. My hot spot 92 degrees. Cool side 72-74. So far doing good.

[@TlJReptiles]

Awesome video man. Setup is perfect

[@JoshCviper]

TlJ Reptiles thanks bro!

[@reinaalis2179]

Awesome creatures..tree boas!! ;D You do a great job keeping so many of them!!^^

[@JoshCviper]

'ReinaAlis' thank you, I strive to stay on top of things.. It's easy when you dedicate all your time to animals. Check the new vids up! (: Glad you like

[@murderedmax8292]

Where do you get your emeralds from? Nice video also man

[@dingerelohim3446]

doing a fine job.. kept emeralds 25 years and had a huge beautiful collection until cancer got me same time as Rico whom lived 20 minutes from me.. much bad info on emeralds and everyone an expert and I guess in my youth I had the same pride... use common sense as you are and give them choices as you have done and they will show you what they prefer and different corallus from different areas require some differences... main is don't overfeed and give a fasting period of at least 3 months a year between august and January.. fat snakes period are horrible... like many of my brothers my fat ass blew up to 340 pounds and I got sick... in the start of me keeping corallus I fed them like I did my own big fat ass and they got sick also... had to learn for them.and me and learning true animal and human health saved my life and theirs years ago... food chain as important to them as it is us to be truly healthy... feed their prey good food like veggie and fruit scraps and hemp and the mice and rats are more healthy and so are the snakes and what is truly healthy will live longer and produce more.... see much has changed the last ten years I've been gone...a whole lot... you kids use common sense and patience and will surpass many old timers whom are hard headed and set in their ways as I once was... don't be afraid to " get out of the box" and stay away from alcohol and shit foods as I have watched many as I once was become fat and sick and alcoholic... so was I and its not flattering and makes you look like a dip shit ... god was good to have mercy on me and teach the right and I did not find him in religious horse shit, I found him on my face in death... may my brothers that believe in horse shit hopefully find him as I did... then your pride leaves and you become open to truly learn.. many of you new kids are doing great things with your creatures and your lives... keep it up and your prides low... perhaps the next generation will be less prideful and less full of shit to make a buck and more prone to love the creatures for their worth in your hearts and not a price ... and don't become a fat ass and let " them" feed you or your snakes and you both will live a longer happier life... these old timers like vets and doctors and medicine... this old timer does not and I live because of it when many like my friend Rico and others are dead... I love all of them and know most of them that are still alive... follow a good and better path and breeding is not hard if the animals healthy... if so many of my brothers are so damned smart why are so many fat and sick??.. same reason I was...ignorance and not willing to listen I was until the pain came... had to change and now I welcome any info to increase knowledge no matter the source as long as it is true and can be proven... keep up the good work...it pays off later...

[@reptilecatches8937]

Where did you get your bamboo

[@summerjustice61210]

I use reptifoggers for my bci and balls and adjust as needed. How do you have yours connected to a timer? What brand, etc.

[@Jpc_12345]

Do more Care Videos plz! Gr8 Vid' btw m8. Surprised you don't have more Subs' tbh. Good KZbinr.

[@fansihsahn7973]

Is that 24hours light gonna affect its day and night system?

[@fharper7237]

Nice set up are you using UVB

[@seansjustchange4870]

Does that humidifier run consistently or on a timer? what's the best fogger in your opinion? Cheers

[@1vw4me]

This set-up is like one step beyond, incredible! I love how you've really put a lot of thought and effort into it. I really like the look of the ETB, out over the GTP. Is the ETB more manageable? All the GTP I've seen are pretty testy, so I've shied away from them. I will say though, I think it's kind of a shame that you only handle him once a month? If I had such a beautiful animal, I'd have to handle him about 5 mins each day!!!! He'd get used to you more if you at least held him more often I believe. Beautiful animal......really like these vids. I wanted to also ask: How do you secure the bamboo? I see some sort of brown holders that the bamboo fits into, but what are they, and where can I get some? Thanks for your help!

[@JoshCviper]

1vw4me Thank You. 1st off, ETB's and GTP's are both almost the exact same care. Both species can be testy. There is a difference in behavior with each individual specimen. You have to really shop around in person to find the perfect tree snake for you. As for holding him more, its not like a ball python or corn snake. These animals get very easily stressed and if you hold him too much he can just die on you, similar to chameleons and other exotic animals. I'm telling you this first hand because even I handled my first female too much and she died on me. These animals have to be respected and left alone 99.9% of their lives. They are more of a display animal and a huge treat to take out. To answer your last question, they are called "closet rod holders" they can be found in plastic or wood at Home Depot or ebay. Thanks for your interest and comment. Keep Watching!

[@AcidxTrain]

Hey lovw the setup, im about to go pick mine up in a few weeks and was wondering if i can use the mister i have to spray the cage or is that to much just do it by hand.

[@itzjdub282]

What wattage is the red bulb?

[@user-ui8sp5th4g]

awesome video josh, im looking to get a ETB can you tell me how much the cage and set up was and where i could get a similar setup. i was looking at pvc cages and they have a cage for around 400.

[@rockycooper2743]

Do you think your would need a 100 watt bulb if your house was colder like say 68 71 temp all the time

[@monkeynova2012]

Nice set up. I'm getting an ETB next april and am using your set up as a bench mark. Is that Spagnum moss on the viv floor?

[@JoshCviper]

u can use many things. sphagnum mixed with any substrate is good.. mine has premium cypress on the bottom bc i get huge bags for 8$.

[@windhamtravaris993]

Most beautiful snake

[@natedrawsthings]

I just watched Snakes n Adders video about how difficult these guys are to keep. Almost enough to make me second guess my want for one of these. Almost. How's this guy doing now?

[@conradmorris9025]

How do you keep ambient heat up

[@Christian-cq5ne]

I have a 60 watt red bulb to me it seems a little overkill. Like you said, the snake has a choice so I might use it idk, might drop to like a 40 watt.

[@1spongeygit]

Honestly, you need a basking spot around 90 degrees, then let the snake choose..They will tell you what they want if you keep an eye on them :-)

[@BigBlack20]

Where did you get that rock looking background and the suction thing from?

[@andilock8276]

As you said about the temp. I can't see a problem because as you say you have quite large temp gradient, so let the animal choose!

[@tayleesymohr2791]

What kind of timer do u use?

[@DIOFERA]

best video of internet

[@catief1031]

I see no issue with your temps, in fact your setup looks rather sweet to me. What are you using on the ends of the bamboo? My friend has a jcp and been wanting to put bamboo for perches.

[@madiperret7990]

in a different persons comment he said it was closet rod holders from home depot!

[@choppastoppa5342]

Do you suggest fogger or mister??

[@JoshCviper]

Knowing what I know now, to create humidity best, block most of the ventilation only leaving a very small amount. That way when you list the side walls and bottom it’ll hold the humidity instead of escape. Just need a big water bowl on the bottom, you can use a shoe box size plastic tub, keeps humidity up well and the snake finds it easy.

[@marshmallowhunter4247]

How do you keep the closet holders in place ? (On the glass). Do you use some sort of glue or just the pressure of the bamboo ?

[@JoshCviper]

MarshmallowHunter Super glue is easiest and works well. You can also use hot glue and i also heard aquarium glue would probably work best but I've never tried that so i can't say for sure.

[@denososa100]

Question are these really difficult to keep?? in general I'm thinking of getting one and the mostly active at night ??

[@rockidove]

Have you had success with this snake? Is it still alive?

[@JoshCviper]

Indeed.

[@rockidove]

Josh C Wonderful to hear! Hard to find good solid info on this breed. Gives me hope I can get it right. Thank you for the videos you post. Appreciate your knowledge.

[@nicknadeau5538]

Any update on the emerald? I just bought mine from underground reptiles as well.

[@paulwilliams2771]

Have you received your Emerald tree boa yet from underground? Nick Nadeau Id like to ask you a few questions about your snake if you have time. My Email is [e-mail] Thanks

[@sugartitsdangerous157]

looks awsome

[@MYFORTEOG]

Do you cut a hole through the screen top for the fogger?

[@JoshCviper]

no it goes through the screen

[@Kyle-yr5si]

do same requirements stand for amazon tree boas as well ?

[@Sorrysleeper]

Have you made a care video on gtp?

[@JoshCviper]

any gtp would thrive in this setup they have same care..

[@RedQueenOfficial]

[@wesstoughton170]

If I were to buy an Emerald baby, like a week old, and hold it every day, how long would it be before it stopped getting stressed out over it?

[@sappypoems2177]

wesA7Xstoughton These arn't snakes that can be passed around and handled daily. Hatchlings and young boas are especially frail and you could easily break their tales just by holding them. If you want to handle a tree boa do so when it's older and it's tail is tougher.

[@ryanpollard8017]

It would die because of stress

[@ryanpollard8017]

+Sappy Poems just points but you honestly shouldn't even hold them. I hate how anyone thinks these animals are cool animals that you can hold, well yeah hold it if you wanna kill a beautiful animal and waste $350-600. Ya know... like honestly get a ball python or something if you want to hold it.

[@1spongeygit]

It would probably stop feeding, they are snakes to look at really and breed of course.. There are plenty of lovely snakes that seem to enjoy human interaction!

[@stephaniesmith-jones4618]

Would a terrarium this size be good for a green tree python? And is the care for green tree pythons the same as the emerald boa? Thanks.

[@JoshCviper]

Stephanie Smith-Jones yes but only an adult.. anything from a yearling to sub adult can live in an eco terra 18x18x34 or a 24x18x24 and yes, same care requirements.

[@stephaniesmith-jones4618]

Ok, thank you :)

[@michaelvargas8800]

what time of the year is the etb mating season

[@JoshCviper]

+Michael Vargas starts in november

[@weedrain6330]

+Josh C How large can the emerald boa be?

[@manofchrist3057]

How many animal do you have

[@hammerheadc1]

where do u get the bamboo from ?

[@JoshCviper]

hammerheadc1 i'm always on the hunt.. it grows wild in Florida. the best bamboo to cut down is when its fresh and green.. only then, will it cure perfectly.

[@brianamado4366]

Is yours CB or WC?

[@JoshCviper]

Brian Urias CB but not CBB.

[@brycerush98]

Can u do a vid like this for gtps

[@JoshCviper]

same requirements

[@AshleyCmrn28]

Do you breed these?! I've been looking for a male forever! Z

[@brycerush98]

Do you have a lot of people that say u r crazy my good friends get it but their parents and one of my parents think I'm crazy and that it's stupid. How do you confront those people?

[@JoshCviper]

Bryce Rush yes.. i say that they are crazy! lol.. i show them how tame all my snakes are and they see them differently when they leave.

[@luckycatch365]

U shouldn’t put tape over the front vent because u need air scircleation

[@NittysReptiles]

Awesome enclosure. Check out my GTP's if you can. Thanks

[@petermoore8358]

cool

[@ponyboy5.0coyotewild63]

[@JoshCviper]

logan lopez check the new video.. theres plenty pythons.

[@benjaminzietz9049]

more on ur boa!

[@rtpsnakes8330]

How does a 50 watt establish 90 degrees what's ur normal room temp? Also do u use thermostats or a dimmer or just on off switch

[@ryanpollard8017]

because it's right under the perch, it's only a few inches from the bulb

[@itzjdub282]

Agreed I had a 60 watt for my green tree. It didn't get hot enough. So I switched to a 100 watt. Got the 90 degrees that I needed
