Nifty pics.:)

And, it would be really cool if somehow, I could find out just exactly what type of boa those are, tree or ground...because I'm not a boa connoisseur, and I'd like to tell my brother what I want for Christmas :D

Again, a snake for the more experienced due to the fact they may only be lizard eaters. I have a connection right now but would you be able to get lizards every month for a snake?
 
BTW I think the first candoia picture is paulsoni, not carinata.

They are definitely Carinata carinata....paulsoni are a LOT larger these guys are full grown at perhaps a 12" I've had them 3 years and they were imported as adults, they haven't grown much....carinata is a pretty highly variable ssp. as you can see just in the pics between the male and female (which you got right by the way Jim...LOL) The lizard thing can be avoided usually if you know the people you are getting them from, I knew the female was on them before I got her but I liked the color so got her anyway....still I don't regret it.

Glad you had fun Jim! Certainly was fun taking you through it all!

And I appreciate the compliments from everyone!

Oh I know how much these guys differ lol. I only suggested paulsoni as I have never seen carinata with the typical paulsoni zig zag pattern, but as you say they are sooooo highly variable. Best of luck with them for the future :)

B,
No thank you, it was a pleasure and I knew I was going to change my thought process on a few things after going to your place.
1. is the shelving units. If I do not do the 40 gallon breeder pull out shelves here at my place, i will do it when I move.

2. Again back to the 10 gallon units. I think I am going to do the same thing in my basement, it might be a fun summer project.

3. And finally Snake projects:
Candoia carinata carinata
Candoia carinata paulsoni, if I can find a pair with your help.. it might be interesting.
Xenopeltis unicolor, the sunbeam snake. I think this undertaking would be a great thing to do. I know with you, Nancy and Sonja, we could get a nice breeding population going up here. Its just gotta take dedication and alot of hard work.
 
The colors on that sunbeam are incredible!

I really like the idea of the pull out shelves....may have a project for the winter.

Thanks for sharing those pics!
