Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

A litter of 53
I had bought several candoia paulsoni over the coarse of about 2 years, With my collection at around 6, then i bought 3 imported females 2 being gravid. One had a litter of 53 (pictured) the other had 51. I had an overall success rate of approx 80%. The key was the provide them with a shallow dish, small sandwich containers (well ventilated) single snake per container with a napkin for the substrate. I did all the reading one could do prior to attempting to feed. Even the smallest of pinkies were still too large for these babies. At the time I worked at a pet store part time, it occurred to me to try small guppie fish. It so happened the night I decided to feed, there was a storm coming in and the snakes seemed very active. Very quiet and calm I proceeded with minimal light from a small lamp on the opposite side of the room, I started dropping guppies into their shallow pool, I observed several guppies jumping out of the dishes and instantly grabbing the snakes attention. This was approx 3-3.5 weeks after birth I attempted to feed. I left them alone over night and to my surprise most of them had eaten! I fed them guppies 2x weekly for about 2-3 months depending on size, and switched to one day old mouse pinks. Most of them without hesitation took to pinks, the others I scented once or twice. A few I had to force feed very carefully to get them started on either guppies or pinkie parts. I had a few fatalities, most of them refused to eat from day one. With some time I had strong, and well established specimens. Mostly whites.
I ended up having to moved 1/2 across country, and left most of them with a "friend" and never seen them again, and the others I sold or gave to a couple friends. I currently own 0 snakes, however of I got anouther, it would definitely be anouther candoia paulsoni.

The mommas
These are post birth mothers. They gave birth approx 2 weeks apart. Taking care of 100+ babies= exhausting

C paulsoni
Wow Vodka I wish I was around when you had to find new homes for these, they are beautiful. Fingers crossed I should have 3-5 gravid females this year (yes, I'm a glutton for punishment). Great pics thanks for sharing.
