It seems everyone that looks at the candoia comment on how much they like them, but for one reason or another have never gotten into them. I'd love to see a recent article in Reptiles magazine Jerry. I think it came out during a time when MORPHS ruled, but that time is changing IMO. They're not on any ban lists, they pose no threats to human safety (aside from some freak incident) and they're simply awesome looking animals. We all need to do what we can to have our success with them and spread them into more collections. I posted about my recent good fortune with them on the general Boa forum and had more response there than in the actual Candoia forum. We're off the beaten path and most people don't venture in here, so I took it to them. The one thing I've told myself is I will never sell any of them unless they're on rodents. It just seems that is a huge turn off to potential buyers. So, if they only feed on frogs or lizards, they will never leave my place. It's so "known" that it's almost always the first question "do they eat rodents" and even when the answer is yes, you can see the look of doubt in their face. So, it's up to any of us willing to take on Candoia to get them out there. I plan on setting up a display at shows just to let people see them more, though they won't be for sale, they'll still be getting noticed. I hope! When I decided to move my Vipers for the time being, they got a lot of a attention and sold before anything else we had there-boa morphs, ball morphs, etc. Now, I have to find more for myself....so begins the hunt, lol
