Santa Isabel Ground Boa Baby - New Owner, Questions, Discussion, Pictures

[vkahri]

Hi there! I also own a Soloman Island ground boa. The "Santa Isabel" refers to locale in this instance. C. paulsoni is correct for this species, but I believe previously that they were considered a subspecies for C. carinata before they were reclassified.

When I obtained mine, it had been long enough (3 months) that she had already shed any remaining embryonic sack off. Considering how young yours is, I'm not entirely surprised that this little guy wouldn't have. The pictures do look like a belly button to me, and as it ages it should disappear with time.

They're neat and gorgeous little snakes, and I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine!

Thank you for this info. Feel free to share any photos if you have any?... Since your's was already 3 months old, did you have any trouble feeding pinkies?
