A Candoia that eats any form of rodent is a very big step. I, personally, would rather have one that ate something other than lizards or frogs. I have had Candoia C. Paulsoni die of starvation, Candoia C. Carinata I have sold (I wanted to keep them) because they would eat nothing. It is easy to get live mice, hard to get live lizards or frogs, hard to get a Candoia that eats anything, so I would go for it.
Right now I have a Paulsoni on FT, a Paulsoni on live pinks, and a Waigo (Candoia C. Carinata) on FT and am happier than a hog in "stuff". I would like to round things out with an Asper, and eating live would be great. The FT will come, but if it is eating anything, you can hope to keep it alive, otherwise it may be hopeless.
I had two of Conway's "eating rodents" Paulsoni die on me. Just because they say it eats live/FT/rodents/anything, well, be sure. These are the most difficult of animals (I have kept) to get eating. Once eating, they are not much to take care of. If they are not eating, they will break your heart, not to mention your pocketbook... ----- Rhac 'n Roll Reptiles deadrats.net
