aboreal means that they live in trees most of their lives. red tail boas are subaboreal i guess u would say. some of their time is spend in trees and some on the ground. things like GTP and ATB are aboreal.

GEESH.. Why don't ya guys give 'em the three primary terms for this stuff ? lol
Arboreal = tree dwellers ... off the ground etc
semi-arboreal = mostly terrestrial, some arboreal tendency
terrestrial = ground dweller
Those ar the three terms you'll see relative to where the specie is found to be usually in a habitat.

Is there an optimist and a pessimist version of the arboreal thing though....
like semi-arboreal or semi-terrestrial [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
I myself would prefer a semi-terrestrial snake.... but after I drink half of my beer the glass is half empty and not half full. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
