Something different...

JDouglas Sep 28, 2004 01:35 AM

I picked up a pair of Solomon Island ground boas from John & Ruth Meltzer at the Des Moines IA show. These guys are small. Their water bowls are bottle caps! I tried to pick two that look different because I want different colored adults. They both eat F/T and have ate for me already as you can see in the pics below.

I think this one will be red...

I am hoping this one will be a different color. I caught em shedding too...

Hey Jaremy,
Great pics! You might want to use a bigger water bowl, something they can get into. Thanks again. John

Thanks John. I am in the process of setting up new cages for these two and will get them larger bowls.

I had a few a couple of years ago. Great little snakes, they grow slow and end up about 3ft. Have fun with them.
