Breeding Kay Caulkers ?

[JimiSnakes]

I think that the mean ones have been the exception... My Caulkers have never offered to bite even as babies. M y Crawls seem pretty mellow and the Sabogaes are super cool unless they smell rats... LOL!

I am not sure where the Insular Dwaves got the reputation for being nippy... It is just not the case, here anyway...

Haha, all of you must have something I don't then! lol. Every time I pick up a smaller island boa I get bit! lol.

Same Jimi, if it isn't a bite, its the open mouth gape at the least.

Like most island boas, they are quite nippy and tend to not grow out of it. As always, there is exceptions, but most I've seen are like this. Also, like most island boas, they're not as easy to breed to as a common boa or ball python might be. Humidity and temp fluxes are a must to inspire breeding. Vin Russo's new book would be a great source of professional advice on the specifics of breeding and/or keeping any insular/island/or locale specific boa.

I currently have a male and female about 8 years old. The only "nip" if you present them with a small target, such as a finger. I always keep my "digits" together presenting a target too large for their mouths. They get my scent then are fine. Very loving snakes.
