Up for sale is my Amazon tree boa. I’m asking $100. I acquired him as a (presumed) yearling from Pet Kingdom in San Diego, CA at the NARBC conference in Anaheim, CA on 9/07/08. He weighed 102g on 11/26/08; today he weighs 229 g. I don’t know if he is captive-bred or wild-caught. He’s a male, 4 and a half feet long, with a multi-colored pattern. He is mostly orange, olive, and blackish-grey with little specks of red. The pictures below are pretty accurate. I’m not a breeder and I have never tried to breed him. He is eating frozen-thawed mice from tongs and has a good appetite except when he’s about to shed. He has no defects that I can find, no mite infestation, and is healthy. As long as the cage humidity is kept high, he has no shedding problems (he shed the day before I took these pictures). Although he is easy to handle, he is also still quite the hand and face biter as is typical of ATB’s (although his teeth are tiny, so the bites don’t really hurt). I’m letting him go because I’ve come to realize that biting, display-only reptiles are not my interest and I’m only going to keep and acquire docile, tame animals for my small collection from now on. I’m going to make this a local pick-up only (I’m in Simi Valley, CA) because UPS no longer ships snakes, the nearest Delta Dash station is an hour away, and I’ve never shipped an animal before anyway, so I’m a bit leery to do so. You may contact me via email at [email protected].
