Candoia Wanted

After seeing Elle's pictures, I really want one and have done a lot of research on them but I can't find anyone in the US selling them, I keep finding ones in the UK. If anyone knows anyone selling them let me know, thanks a lot.

I know there was a breeder at the Daytona show this year that had a couple, but I just can't remember his name. Ask ArpeggioAngel, I think she was going to try and get a couple from him.

You might want to let Glades Herp and Ben Siegel know you are looking. I know we saw them at Daytona, and maybe even one of the smaller shows.

Wait, Elle says this guy: http://www.kingsnake.com/candoia/

Yep, Jerry is THE candoia man.

Whatever you do for your first pacific boa, try not to buy an freshly imported animal as it will probably die very quickly not to mention it will most likley be infested with parasites, worms and won't eat defrost.

I have had zero problems with my CB trio, but I am sure the story would be very different if I was to import say some viper boas fresh.

I have a deposit down on one with Jerry. He is really great to work with - I have met him at Daytona and conversed with him via email many times.

When do you get yours, Katie?? Remember that teeny one we got to hold at the show?

Thanks, I will get in touch with him. The only ones I did find for sale were imported but I feel safer get a CB snake, for those reasons.

I actually emailed with him today and his females are due any day now - he said they are actually overdue. And considering I am going to get one definately feeding on mice it will probably be a bit longer.

Guess how Linda got some of her babies going.... Sand eels. Seriously. She had them all feeding on defrost within 3 weeks. HIGHLY unusual for candoia babies.
