A little Bit of Candoia love!

A little bit of Candoia love! This adult female Solomon Island Ground Boa (Candia paulsoni) produced a huge ltter for us this year of 43 neonates.

So far, nearly half of the litter has beeen successfully switched to frozen thawed pink mice. Likely, the remainder will need a month or two more of scenting before they have been switched to rodents. 🙂 <3
