I hope you are feeding F/T? An emerald that size should be eating small rats.

The adult female is eating live. She will mot accept ft just yet. Her feedong response has gotten much better though so i think she will eventually end up accepting ft. Ive tried very hot and at night. I have yet to try pre killed though. One thing i was sughested to do is offer live then replace it with a ft. Now that she is no longer hesitant to feed for me even during the day this might just work. And shes eating adult mice. Think i should move her up?

ty ty here goes a younger male and a cb baby female

poison123 · 07-17-20, 02:20 PM

The male was an import but tbh prob the best looking import i have ever seen as far as health goes. Super clean scales, great weight, and a huge appetite if you told me it was CB I would believe it.

ETBs are such pretty looking snakes. I like the balance between white and green in yours.
Do they tolerate handling at all?

Ty chairman! tbh i dont even wanna say they're defensive but extremely reactive to their heat pits. The female has never struck at me but she turns her head at me whenever i come in from the side where her heat pits are. I back off before she gets the chance to do anything. Pretty much the same with the male but he has struck at me a couple of times. The CB baby hasnt shown any signs of aggression and tolerates my handling which im super happy about. I would like at least one i can take out and show off.

Id still say though theyre super chill compared to a mean ATB that will strike at you even if youre not close.

Yeah me too. And they feel so different compared to the adults. Like velvet. I wish they kept the red.

Isn't there a locality of ETB that keeps its juvenile coloration into adulthood? I remember hearing about one several years ago, though I'm not sure what happened to them in the hobby. (It may have been an ATB locality.)

Not that ive heard of. I have heard of some being born green and obviously they keep the green. Then theres anaconda phase which is born with darker patches rather than white and it keeps that. Atbs dont really go through a drastic color change like etbs or gtps. They usually just gain more pattern as they age but keep the same main color their whole life.

Nice. Kinda like a green tree python.
