Hi everyone,
I am thinking about getting a viper boa, but I need to know what I am getting in to before I get one. Thank you for any info that you can give me.

There isn't a lot of info around on the Candoia family so sadly, your kind of limited on where you can find it. You can try Jerry Conway- his site is listed under kingsnakes caresheets area or you can check out my group site. Kingsnake can link you there by way of their "mailing list" area. These are really cool animals but I must be honest (i've had 1) And my friends have had some and they all had a really bad attitude. That isnt to say there isnt a calm one out there. They are easy animals to care for but if you want something you can handle there are many other types of Candoia out there that have a easier going disposition Randy

Viper boas are "OUCH" awsome. I am a huge "OH" fan of them. They are my "MMMMM You Son Of A" second favorite Candoia species just behind the Paulsoni. Actually, I have had some that were very calm and others that were chaotic. My experience has been more calmer males than females. I'm not saying that is a set rule, just telling you my experiences. They are a true pleasure to work with and super easy to breed. Jerry Conway's site is pretty accurate as far as details on keeping them.
