Re: candoia paulsoni tasmai
Looks like a candoia carinata carinata ( called the indo tree boa in the states)
They are gaining in popularity here, and wholesale for around $20 here. C.B babies are about $5-$10 ea here from wholesalers.
One of my favorite "odd ball" animals, they only flaw with them is babies are so small they can be hard to start unless you have tiny frogs or lizards, but as well worth the effort. Nice snake.

Re: candoia paulsoni tasmai
Thanks guys. These snakes are really easy to keep too. And I do have a body shot of him, it's just that I haven't uploaded it yet. and this is candoia paulsoni tasmai, way rarer than carinatas. these guys can grow up to 4 foot long instead of just a couple of inches. and the difference between a ground boa from the candoia family and the tree boa from the candoia family is that tree boas have a more sleeker look. and the tend to be more active than their ground cousin. while the ground boa is more aggressive towards handlers and has a broader and flatter head. the ground boas like to dig under any substrate you give them, while the tree boas like to just find a hiding spot and go to sleep.

Re: candoia paulsoni tasmai
thanks zac. i have a couple of tips for you guys that wants to start keeping candoias :
-some are very ill-tempered especially WCs. so be prepared because their bite scores 3/10 in the pain scale.
-they may refuse to eat for a long period of time. especially ground boas. because they would sometimes eat every 2 weeks or so. and they don't need a lot of nutrient. a big mice for an adult ground should be enough for a couple of weeks
-they don't move much, but they're awesome to handle and beautiful to look at!
