Beautiful snake and enclosure! See these occasionally on kingsnake and I have to say they're quite intriguing. They stay small their whole lives, correct?

Wow! She is gorgeous, very unique.

World's smallest boa??

You know, considering how many people think boa constrictor's are man eating monster's, we should try to make these little bitty's more well known.

Omg she's adorable and super cool looking! I've never heard of them before honestly.

...she has a prehensile tail, her pattern looks like tree bark and she eats house geckos, anoles and tree frogs...tell me again how she's a terrestrial snake? There is a snake very similar that gets to around 4ft that is a ground boa. but that is not this snake. You know nothing, Jon Snow.

Definitely an arboreal species. C. carinata is arboreal, while C. paulsoni is mainly ground-dwelling (although they climb as well). C. b. bibroni stays on the ground more (although they climb as well), as well as C. aspera. C. superciliosa and C. b. australis are arboreal. C. carinata are designed to live in the trees and low-shrubbery. Their coloration is perfectly camouflaged with small branches and bark.

Wow she is amazing!! I had never seen one before!!! Hmmm now I think I know what I will be getting next :P :P

:8: Off-topic, but I'm obsessed with this show now! Beautiful boa, too!

I love it! I can't wait to get one, I am absolutely obsessed with the Genus. I currently own a C. aspera, who I adore and is very easy to handle (though I leave him alone most of the time). Beautiful snake you have there!

Thanks guys!! Yeah I think she's pretty awesome =3 glad to see another GoT fan! I needed someone to get that joke xD

OK, I want one now too....
So what do YOU feed Tiki?

Andy-:snake:

She gets anoles until I can switch her to pinkies =3

man. after putting the anoles in her enclosure, I may keep her on them...the anoles are fascinating to watch!! May have to get some breeders...after all, I have an empty 55 gallon tank that would be perfect!

LOL I purchased 1 (ONE!!!!!) Ball Python.... Now I'm breeding mice and rats!!! I'm enjoying them as much as the snake! (OK, I have a few more snakes now LOL)

Andy:snake:

Wow, anoles are small enough for her to eat?! She's tiny as it is, I can't imagine things being much smaller than her.

Yup! She's actually eating one as I type...I'll see if I can get some good pics of it...it's fascinating!! (did you know they don't have heat pits? they go from sight and smell alone, which is why it's so hard to switch them to rodents!!)

He's a wrap pic for ya :
