FINALLY got my hands on a CB specimen. Still saving up for more of these little beauties

Heres Blythe, my unsexed Halmahera Island ground boa...
Only 2 months old and a perfect defrost feeder which makes life so much easier

Sorry for the crap pics, I couldn't be bothered getting out the big macro lens

Congrats! Those are really sharp looking pics. Who captive bred it? You say that it's "unsexed"; if you look for the presence of cloacal spurs, you can visually sex it (male Candoia have them, females do not). Good luck with him/her!

Just curious.

Yep I live in Glasgow Scotland, A lass in the north east of Scotland bred them in September. Her name is Linda and her usual forum name is SCOTLANDUKBOA.

I know it's foolproof to look for spurs however these guys are just too tiny! Even taking pictures of the vent and looking for spurs with a macro lens is extremely difficult. I am not too bothered about the sex for now, I will probably end up with a small group of them at some point.
