Hey, been a long time. A lot has changed since I was last here that I may post about in the future (namely some frogs and a LOT of invertebrates of all kinds), but for now I'll share the latest, very special addition to my critter crew. I've had my eye on Candoia aspera for quite a while now, but between wanting a more red/orange individual and the species overall being difficult to find captive-bred, I couldn't settle on one for the longest time. Until around a month ago I chanced upon a listing on Morph Market, and after extensive discussion with the breeder, I brought this beautiful girl home with me just last week.
Meet Odaria.
The images do no do her justice. Her colors are practically radiant they're so vivid. Couldn't believe it when I first saw her in person. Extremely calm too, didn't even recoil when I touched and briefly handled her while looking her over. And she's even already had her first meal with me with no issue.
Quite amusingly, I weighed her when she first came in. She was born in March 2023 (so around a year and a half old). She weighs less than Mira (my Vietnamese blue beauty) did when she wasn't even a full month out of the egg. I knew Candoia grew super slowly but my goodness.
