Waigeo Island Candoia

Gorgeous! I want one sooo bad!

Jerry still has 1.3 left, you know you want one lol. There was another female that I really loved beside this girl I wish I could have gotten both.

Wow! She is very beautiful! I'm not very familiar with that type so I'm surprised how small she is. But wow a very stunning snake indeed! Congrats!!!

Thank you, it surprised me too.

Cool! Congrats, again!:)
She is awesome big congrats!!

Thank you both!
 
Congrats-is she eating rodents or frogs/lizards? I had a group of Waigeo carinata a few years ago. They're awesome little snakes (males are downright tiny), but keeping them fed can be a big pain.

I think I saw a picture of that one when I was looking in the photo gallery on kingsnake.com, he's goregous.

I was told she was feeding on mice so hopefully when I feed her all goes well and she continues that way. I'm sure she will, she is 4 years old so hopefully she has a taste for mice now.

She was my big girl-maybe about 2 feet long or so and the diameter of a nickel, but she absolutely dwarfed all the rest. My adult males weren't much bigger than hatchling corns. I got her from Ben Siegel as a mouse eater and she did eat fuzzies for me. She wasn't too consistent though (none of them were), so after one feeding, it would sometimes be weeks before she'd eat again. I got another female and 2 or 3 males as a group later on, but all I could ever get them to eat was geckos.

How old was the one in the picture?
 
She is beautiful! Looks quite big as well, don't expect her to get much bigger LOL.

I have an adult male kofiau Isle carinata who is only 28 grams, and here is my biggest adult female. She is also gravid :)

That one is pregnant (gravid)? Wow! How many wormlets are you expecting, Elle? 2? LOL. She looks wonderful for an expectant mother. :)

That shot was taken a while ago. She is now 9 months gravid and looking fit to burst. I expect anything from 1-5 babies. Dunno really lol.

My other gravid female is much bigger and actually very overdue now...

LOL. Ahhhh... that explains it. I was gonna say, my wife would KILL to look as slim and trim while expecting! :D
 
Wow! That is an awesome looking little snake. I've never gotten into this species, but I may have to think about it now. LOL Congrats!

Thanks Elle, your girl is very beautiful too. I can't wait to see her babies.

She does appear to be a bit smaller than your's, but I don't really expect her to grow she is 4 years old now so she is most likely about done growing.

Wow! That is an awesome looking little snake. I've never gotten into this species, but I may have to think about it now. LOL Congrats!

Thanks Becky, I can already tell I'll be getting more in the future. I fell in love with her as soon as I opened the box and saw her.
 
Ok... its official. I getting one of these boas! But the next question is.. can I wait until Daytona next year?? :awcrap:

Your snake is beautiful, we can be super leet members of the Candoia club.
