Boa Amazon Tree Health Information
The Amazon Tree Boa can be quite difficult to feed in captivity because many refuse rodents, prefering small frogs and lizards. These snakes should be switched to small rodents as soon as possible to avoid spread of parasites and disease from the frogs or lizards to the snake.
Amazon Tree Boas should be kept in temperatures ranging form 82 to 70 degrees between day and night, respectively. A hot spot for basking (about 90 degrees Fahrenheit) is necessary, and should be left on all the time. High humidity is very important for the Amazon Tree Boa, and it should fluctuate between 70% and 90%. The air in the habitat should circulate to prevent mold and fungus from growing. A timed misting system is highly recommended.
Breeding
Baby Amazon Tree Boas should be separated from each other and the parents, due to cannibalistic occurrences. Babies should be fed every five to seven days.
