My Two New Candoia

[Iguanagirl8662]

Due to the nasty weather we had here last week we decided not to ship them Thursday and I'm glad for that, the storm was bad. So my two new Waigeo Island Tree Boas arrived today instead. I now have two females and one male and I'm so happy with them they are goregous and so interesting.


The new male, I love his spottiness-

The new female, I love her full stripe and color-

My first female, her pattern is like a mix of the new male and female-

They are lovely. I particularly like their markings. Since you have 1.2, are you planning to breed?

Aw, they're so pretty! I love their weirdly cute faces. Definitely have to say that the new female's striping is da boooomb!

GORGEOUS examples. Thats my favorite thing about carinata, no two look alike!

BTW if you are considering breeding, you would be better having more males than females. Males tend to need a wee bit of masculine competition before they are enticed into breeding. I was very lucky in that as soon as I put one of my pairs together they bred straight away, without me having to introduce my other male. Unfortunately all the babies were stillborns. Prepare for heartache with these guys. Babies don't tend to survive in captivity, but a few talented and passionate breeders have got it down to a fine art.

Thanks for all the comments everyone. Now for the hard part of owning so many animals, picking names lol.

Probably not due to the fact that they start off on frogs or lizards and can be tricky to switch to rodents but if I do it won't be for a few years. These guys also have not been sucessfully bred in captivity yet and the breeder I got them from is going to attempt it next year so we will see how that goes and I'll decide from there.

I have read about needing multiple male for one female. I don't think that I will ever breed them because they are so tricky. Mine are adults at 20 inches, I can't imagine how tiny the babies would be and how tiny their food would have to be. For now I am quite happy just owning these three.

Damn Katie!!!

Very true, I think I need to buy the zoo lol. Well I think I'm done for quite a while, well until the corns start hatching again atleast(I need a bloodred!). Now I'm concentrating on building a new home for my Igs.
