    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I am wondering of anyone here works with Solomon Island ground boas? I have only seen these around a few times and they look interesting but have really only seen one person working with them, Jerry Conway. WHy arent these more popular?
 
These are fairly new in the herp world are they not? From what I have read about them, most of the snakes sold are wild caughts. I heard they are great tempered even wild, so it may take a bit for them to catch on. I think they are nice looking snakes, I would not mind owning a couple myself.
 
I know Jerry Conway has been working with these for years and many CBB babies to sell. I did a little reading and found out they are hard to get switched over to rodents as they are lizard eaters. This may have something to do with the lack of attention....
 
I've been interested in them for a long time, but there are always more rosyboas to buy...
I originally learned about them in a Reptiles mag article where a screaming white phase was on the cover. That was a long time ago and it has always shocked me that more people aren't getting into breeding them. They have such an interesting array of color variations.
I might still get a pair someday...
