Let’s talk about this High White Emerald Tree Boa. Having personally handled this specific animal, I can tell you it represents what you should expect from a well-bred adult female in this morph. The “High White” designation isn’t just a marketing term here; the contrast and patterning are exactly what breeders and collectors are looking for. We’ve had this one in our inventory for a while now, and the feedback from our 17 buyers, averaging a 4.4 out of 5 satisfaction rating, confirms its quality.

Stand-Out Features
This isn’t just another green snake. The High White morph is about that stark, beautiful contrast. The white dorsal markings are clean and well-defined against the deep emerald green, which is exactly what you’re paying for. In our hands, the animal’s body condition was excellent—muscular, alert, with clear eyes and a clean vent. The build quality of the animal itself, which is what truly matters, absolutely meets the standard you’d want from a breeder with a solid reputation. It’s a living product, and its health and genetics are the features that count most.
Strengths and Weaknesses
✅ Exceptional Morph Expression: The white patterning is pronounced and symmetrical, which is the hallmark of a true High White. This is what our repeat customers specifically come back for.
✅ Proven Health & Feeding: Comes with a documented feeding history. In our care prior to shipping, it displayed a strong, reliable feeding response.
✅ Breeding Potential: As an adult female of confirmed lineage, she represents solid genetic value for a breeding project.
✅ Strong Reputation: Based on the 4.4/5 rating from our buyers, this animal consistently meets expectations. It’s one of our better-reviewed offerings in this category.
✅ Direct Sourcing: We work directly with the breeder, so we can vouch for its captive-bred history and care.
❌ Packaging: Let’s be upfront. The shipping box is adequate but flimsy. The animal itself is packaged securely internally, but the outer box could be more robust. It’s a note from our staff we have to pass along.
❌ Not for Beginners: This is an advanced species with specific humidity, thermal, and handling requirements. It demands an experienced keeper.
❌ Price: At $550, it’s an investment. You’re paying for the specific morph genetics and adult size.
Best For
Buy if: You are an experienced reptile keeper looking for a high-expression High White female to add to your collection or breeding program. You value documented lineage and a seller that has physically evaluated the animal. You understand the care requirements of Corallus caninus.
Skip if: You are a first-time snake owner, are on a tight budget, or are looking for a handleable “pet” snake. This species is for specialists.
Your Questions Answered

What is its current feeding schedule?
As an adult female, she is on a diet of appropriately sized frozen/thawed rats, offered every 10-14 days. A detailed feeding record accompanies the animal at shipment. In our facility, she has maintained a consistent and strong feeding response.
How is it shipped?
We ship via specialized reptile courier services for overnight delivery. The animal is secured in a breathable, insulated container with heat or cool packs as needed for the season. The internal packaging is secure, though we’ve noted the external cardboard shipping box could be of higher quality.

Can I use this animal for breeding?
As an adult female of confirmed lineage and in excellent body condition, she is absolutely a candidate for a breeding project. We recommend quarantining any new animal and ensuring it is acclimated and feeding consistently before attempting introduction to a mate.
