It's Jager time!
I got these 4 proven specimens from a guy who lives in London who has had some success with them, but has never been able to keep the babies alive. So after not much convincing they are now mine
He came all the way up on the train to deliver them, what a nice guy!
He has had them for a good few years and they were originally WC from Kaifu Isle (best known for yellow adult chondros).
Wee bit about carinata for those that are curious. They are pacific boas, commonly known as Indonesian tree boas (different common names depending on the Island they were collected from). They are arboreal obviously, but still spend a lot of time on the ground. They are the smallest of the Candoia genus. I will need to get weights of the adults but they are certainly no more than 200 grams for the females, and I would be surprised if either of the males was 50 grams. I will get some decent size comparison pictures when they settle in.
These are ready for breeding now, so I have them housed as 1.1 pairs. If any of the females take, I won't see any babies for at least 8 months. And they tend to give birth to more than 4 at a time. Then when the babies come they are impossibly small and don't want to feed. THUS why I want to have a darn good try at breeding and keeping alive some of the first CB carinata.
I'll stop babbling. Here are some quick crap shots.
Here's the first female: Lyra. I had the displeasure of being musked by her. What a foul experience. But not half as bad as being musked by the tiniest male.
Second female: Lunar Dawn.
Biggest male: Obsidian Fyre (My fav specimen in the group)
Smallest of the whole group: Bluemoon Wolfboy. He sports the common pattern and colouring of carinata... but I wish he was striped.
