Here's my new candoia, sorry for the poor photo

Hmmm...looks familiar...Nice candoia...

Hi ANDRY122,Are candoia carinata carinata good eaters?Is that an adult?Thanks for writing to me before,ur nice.thanks jenni/

Hi jen. As fas as I know they're good eaters. I've never had feeding problem with carinata-carinata. The only problem is to find a house gecko to feed them, especially for the babies

Thats a juve one. That one has a good personality. Because most of juve carinata-carinata usually shy with people watching them on feeding time, but this one isn't shy with people. I fed her with my hand, and she took the gecko from my hand

THANK YOU ANDRY,yes I have tiny juve Isabella paulsoni(born January 18,2010)he will NOT eat if someone is looking.He WILL eat pink mice.thanks for writing, ur nice./jenni/

U're welcome Wow I want Isabella so bad, but I cant find it in here Post his picture please

HI ANDRY,It took me a long time to find 1 in here,mine is extra nice but is tan NOT white.I feel honored to have corisponded with Jerry Conway.He has the best Isabella in here.Maybe one day he will put some up for sale.I need a special cable to connect my camera to my computer before I can download pictures.One of my Ambon males just shed his dirty old skin so I will take some photos of him today ,hopefully I can post some before to much longer.What color is the underside of your grey candoia carinata carinata? thankyou jenni/

All snakes are beautiful, no matter what colors they have, as long as u love them I have two carinatas that have brown color too. Maybe people see them as ugly ducklings, but I love them. Besides, one of them is my first snake. So I really owe a big debt to that carinata, she brought me into reptile's world.

Yes, I believe Jerry has the best Isabella, no doubt about it

What snakes do u have beside carinata, Jen?

Hey Andry,The man I recieved my tan Isabella from will soon have some white ones available.I sent him an e-mail to see if shipping to Indonesia is possible.Just for fun.Other snakes I have are a pair of Dumerils boas(Acrantophis dumerili)from Madagascar.The female is getting big(approx 7 feet)the male 3 feet.I also keep corn snakes,I have 8 of them,and some dogs.My dogs are Italian Greyhounds and they just had puppies,really great ones,4 all males.What color is the belly of ur grey carinata?Thanks jenni/

Jen, do u have YM? We can talk in there, so I dont need to wait for ur reply

Lol, it's gonna cost a lot to ship here Wow u sure have a lot of pets Thats nice.

I think the color is kinda brown :\ Because right now she's darker than before, because of the wrong environment, lack of lights, wrong temperature, and no humidity She turns into brown from grey

HEY ANDRY,While the Isabellas' are reasonable $50 U.S.Shipping probably sucks.You can try this,google-Fauna Classifieds.go to classifieds.then to,(Rosy,Sand,Ground Boas/Pythons)page 1.CBB 2010 SOLOMON ISLAND GROUND BOA CLEARANCE posted by midgetfaded.My snake is R27.I dont know if this works in there.Lights and humidity are unimportant just make sure they are warm enuf after they eat so they can digest meal. and have some water.Too much humidity can cause problems.Skin and lung.Thanks again for writing-Jenni/

Yep, I found the page. Thats beauiful Jen I envy you I hope I can find some isabellas in here. It looks like candoia paulsoni tasmai, but it has reduced pattern and brighter color. Is there any Isabella that has dark color?

The first snake is so god damn hot! I love the stripe

From what I know, light and humidity are making the color on carinata-carinata. Because it sets the mood of the snakes. My carinata-carinata when placed on a wrong place and they get uncomfortable with the environment, they can turn into darker colors But when I moved them into a nice environment, with nice light and nice humid, they regained their colors back

And I didnt mean a high humidity, but a so-so humid that makes them comfort

HI Andry,Oh I'm glad you found it!I was not sure if u could access it from there.I got my female Ambon in the mail today.I've been waiting awhile,I'm so glad she is here!Also glad she has both eyes and all her tail.It is weird buying snakes u can't see first.These Ambons are Candoia paulsoni tasmai,no doubt about it,very dark even after shed.But I dont know if these change color.They are white,red and black on the under side.My Isabella has never changed color,I dont think they do.We should ask Jerry.My juve solomon island ground boas have major color change and shade.One would think they were a totally different animal.What is YM? young miss.Thanks again for writing Jenni/

I think you and I have different perception. There's a difference between candoia carinata-carinata from ambon island with candoia paulsoni tasmai. Yes some of carinata2 ambon island have the same pattern with paulsoni tasmai, a zig-zag pattern, but they're different. Paulsoni tasmai is larger than carinata-carinata.

Carinata2 ambon island usually has a cream color. And what I posted in here, they're all carinata2, not paulsoni tasmai.

Carinata2 alone has lots of localities. Here some localities that I've known and have seen: Jayapura, Waigeo, Kofiau, Ambon. So far those are the localities that I've seen with my own eyes in here. I'm sure there are lots of carinata2 from different localites that I didnt mention above, but those are the ones that I've never seen it.

About your isabella never changed color, I never have a chance to know about Isabella. So I dont have a clue But My carinata2 from Ambon island, surely changed color into darker. But rite now she's getting brighter than before because I change the environment

Usually Paulsoni Tasmai can have an extreme color changing after shedding. it's because their scales are thick so they keep lots of mud from the nature. So when u have one then it sheds at ur place, there's a possibility that it's gonna have a brighter color.

YM is yahoo messenger, like MSN

HI ANDRY,I think you and I have same perception.You have candoia carinata carinata.I have candoia paulsoni tasmai.Only the ad for them said Ambon island dwarf tree boas,this means nothing in this case.And who knows where these snakes are really from.I agree the title Ambon Island dwarf tree boas more accuratly describes your snakes.I love your snakes and while they do have a nice zig zag I can tell they are carinata and not paulsoni(your grey ones 2 middle pictures)Yahoo Message oh Thank You Jenni/

Sorry Andry122, I mean Yahoo Messenger,thank you.I will have to look.Mono Halmahera yah candoia paulsoni tasmai.jenni/
