Dark emerald to forest green animals displaying the highest number of clean white markings surrounded by highly defining darker bordering scales are judged to be of superior confirmation.
As with all emeralds, bluish lateral striping in the transitional area between the dorsal and ventral scales may be present as well as white or yellow lateral markings.
This unusual form displays normal northern emerald scalation and vertebral markings set against an unusually high yellow to green ratio pervasive throughout its ground color True fl pigmentation may be present along the dorsal and lateral surfaces but not in high density.
Care Sheets (6883 words)
Most emerald tree boas prefer to sit on perches, which are roughly the thickness of their body's widest part but will also sit on differing sizes of perches from really large to really small in diameter.
Emerald tree boas are crepuscular and offering food at night is when they are most accustomed to feeding.
