Neo Emerald outdoors for some exercise

[Dbutton]

I decided to take the little girl outside for some exercise today. She really seemed to be having fun, if that is what you would call it, in the boa tree. All the new sites and smells had her little tounge going at hyper speed. She is far from timid too and was willing to stay there as long as I let her. Her colors are starting to change now too. There are some interesting blue spots starting to come out on her sides. I can't wait to see how they develop. It is really interesting to watch since this is not the normal orange/red to green change since she was already green at birth.

looks like she is having fun! I'm always afraid to let my snakes climb in the trees, I think they would get too high up for too wound up in the braches and I'd be sitting out there for 6 hours "come on, come down!" lol
Was green at birth? that's odd!

Well fortunatly I am really tall and the tree isn't. One snake is pretty easy to control in the tree. But I have had up to 11 baby boas in it at the same time and that was nerve racking. Here is a link.

Ah the days of cruising out side. We have a macadamia nut tree that we use for the little ones exercise tree.

Hi Hisba,
Green neos in "northerns" is not as uncommon as you might think. We purchased two females (orange) and out of that litter of ten, two were born green. I have seen several other litters with green neos as well. Although I have never seen a picture of one, I have been told that green, neo Amazon Basins have occurred, but are very uncommon.

looks like you need to reset the date on your camera.. ha.. nice, how are they to keep... on a scale of one to ten... one being the most easy?

[Dbutton]

Yes, I know about the camera date and have corrected it. That is what you get when you let your 13 year old son use your camera. And he is the one who first pointed it out to me. It had been set correctly since I got the camera and then mysteriously changed "on it's own" while in his possession.LOL!!

On a scale of 1 to 10 for care, with BCI's being a 2, I would have so say about a 4 for that little girl. And that is only because of the temp and humidity demands. The adults were a little harder at first, but they are really no trouble either. They all eat fine, poop regularly and are pretty laid back. I had that regurge problem with the adults early on, but that was temp oriented and has been corrected. Now everybody is happy and active.
But what I consider "easy" to care for might not be that way for the next person. I have been keeping snakes for 30 years so I consider most of them to be pretty easy.
