Solomon boas born today
Here's a new born litter of Candoia carinata paulsoni. It's been a couple years since I had a litter, but here we go again... Shoestring time..
I've been breeding this species for about 20 years.. These are F3 or F4, I've lost track but the adults were produced by me, from ones produced here, and so on.
This is a very young female that produced this litter... She is pictured here in the "cage" she was raised in, which is only a shoebox Rubbermaid, as a size indicator, the water bowl is a Dollarama ramakin bowl, the 2 for a buck size.
Some of the babies have cool patterns.
There were 16 babies, one slug.. One baby is kinked but there are 15 good ones.
I have loads of experience raising this species.. You don't even try to feed them on their own till xmas. Babies eat jumping frogs in the wild, and that is
pretty hard to emulate in captivity, so I don't bother even trying.
They go straight on the pinky pump, with Fancy Feast beef and liver cat food. I've been doing it that way for years. (pinkies are too valuable.. need them for my rubber boas)
Most will be eating pinkies by the spring after their second or third shed.

The colour in Candoia doesn't really come in until they are a year or two old... you get subtle hints sometimes in the babies but you wont recognize them two years from now... most of these will contain black white and reddish hues, similar to Mom
That one with the wide stripe, will likely be a more reddish one, which should look fantastic with that wide stripe down the back.

your pm is still full, bra
Do you happen to have a pic of the male that sired them, Roy. I mean, after all he deserves some recognition for the achievement : )

I have 2 small black and white high contrast males... It could have been either one of them.. I had both males with her.

I, too, would like to see some pics of papa! I know I'm jumping the gun, but when can I buy one?
How long is the female? Nice big litter, eh?
PS, pool, good call on your prediction of Roy's babies!

Look up Zoe... the pics are there Could have been either one or both of those males... they look almost the same anyways. They all live in shoeboxes, so they aren't very big.. How bigs a shoebox..? a foot long. The female is bigger than the males but still under 2 feet I think... they bite, so I don't mess with them much

Well I guess I should look into breeding my female some day, then. She's almost 3 feet long.
Yours bite? Hm. Mine are ultra placid.
Anyway, congrats on the lovely litter!

That's the only way my Spilotes/Bloods/Yellowtails/Gonyosoma/Cavers can show their unconditional love ........

My adults are generally placid, but sometimes bite ( FWIW they originated from Roy, were raised by yourself, Don and passed onto me by DON OLTEAN ) Same temperament with the "black" Candoia.
I agree - their nature is part of their appeal. I don't handle them much, in part, 'cause I like them that way.
What's up with people selling off their Candoia only to seek out more shortly thereafter. I noticed Jay J also had a wanted add for Candoia recently.
PS what took you so long, Zoe ?

Yeah, Don I keep telling people "Snakes bite... period" but everyone thinks I'm wrong. I got chomped by 3 corn snakes today... and that mother Candoia, and both the males... (during the photos)
The only thing I touch without gloves or hooks are my Rubber boas and Calabars... so far they are the only species that don't jump out of their bins when I slide them open. I've been bit by lots of Ball Pythons, childrens pythons and all those other "tame" species too.
My snakes are not pets and don't normally get held... They get to know there is only one reason their trays slide open. Keeping them from hitting the floor, being catapulted into the closest, and/or breaking teeth off in my clothing or flesh are ongoing challenges
Maybe snakes just don't like me, or perhaps I need more experience
