Re: Candoia carinata (Pacific ground boas)

Thanks for your above comments guys...

They are all still doing very well and seem to have grown a bit since they arrived. They are all taking small geckos and when geckos are not available they are assist fed pink parts.

Some updated pics...









Regards
Louis.

Re: Candoia carinata (Pacific ground boas)

oh my gosh they are so cute hiding their noses like that *lol* there are a lot of lizard eating snakes i would love to have, but for me it would be such a pain in the butt to get food for them right now! i supposed i'd have to breed lizards, and that just isn't going to happen at the moment. Do they only eat live...do you have a place you get like, frozen lizards from?

Re: Candoia carinata (Pacific ground boas)

Here's a little update for you guys...

They are doing great on live geckos and seem to be growing fast. I'll convert them onto pinks once they are big enough.

Out of the 12 I got all are still alive and none seems to have issues.

Here's a pic or two of them about two weeks back...





@jaleely, I catch geckos each week...

I hope you enjoy them.

Regards
Louis

Re: Candoia carinata (Pacific ground boas)

I was under the impression that Candoia carinata were Indonesian tree boas. I have one, she looks very similar to yours. She rarely comes down from her branches in her enclosure.

Re: Candoia carinata (Pacific ground boas)

Thanks Norm66 !

@BarelyBreathing, that's why I usually stay as far away from common names as possible. The ones I have spend most of their time in the branches as well but will venture down to the ground in search of food ever so often.

Regards.

Re: Candoia carinata (Pacific ground boas)

Huh, so I guess they are the same animals, just different names. Thanks!
