    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

Hello all.

I have been thinking of getting a Solomon island ground boa, I really love the look of the heads and that they don't grow super big. Also that they seem to have a great temperament. But I have notice that the tree boas look a lot alike. At least they do a the very few dealers that have them at local shows. So I"m not confident that they are all correctly labeled. :shrug01:

Is there an easy way to be sure if it's a ground boa?

Can anyone provide a good set of side by side photos please?
 
I own many solomon island ground boas and they are all have something in common that sets them aside from the tree boas. The ground boas have a zig zag stripe down the back of the snake. They come in an array of colors from light and dark tans, browns, and some reds. The solomon island tree boa has more of a diamond patterning on them, they also grow a little larger than the ground boas and usually more slender. Look up DM exotics on youtube, Dan has done a few videos on them. Hope this helps!
