    Madagascar Ground Boas??
    Does anyone keep this species?

    I'm picking up a 1.2 trio in November, but I'm finding horibly conflicting information just on the region they're found in. Normally I wouldn't be too concerned but since there isn't much care information on the species, and the country they come from is so variable in climates, it makes a huge difference in regards to their care (humidity/ temp/etc).

    Also what age, weight or length are they normally bred at? Gestational details? I've seen between 4-9 months, and 2-20 young....again, a huge variation in information.

    Some tips from people who succesfully keep them would be greatly appreciated.

    Lookup caresheets for dumeril's boas. That name would be a little more common i think.

    I know but theyre both from madagascar. Semi arid deciduoos forests are their climates. Dum's are more common than MGB's so you may be able to find care sheets for them easier. :gj:

    Madagascar isn't the same climate throughout the entire island, and they don't share the same range....worst case scenario i guess I'll set up 3 different tubs and see who does better at what temp/humidity....
