hi ass :D

hehehe, he kinda has that look to his face, actually. Like he'd be a stinker to try and get a hold of.
Wow I just looked em up, and it seems, as a species, they are cranky little shits. X3 So your title sounds like a fitting name for the guy hehe. But it's cool that they can color change O.O I didn't know snakes could do that. HA, but I'm sure there are encyclopidias on what I don't know X3

oh yes, i think most boas still have that untame side to them
the more exotic, especially importated specimens are very wild x..x

i had a blood python for a few months, their bite is pretty nasty Dx

Nice little ground boa... I had to sell mine recently when I lost my job, but I miss them. I had a black and white, a red and white, and a kind of brick red looking one....

Nice!

I've never met someone else who owned candoias before!

I have had a ton of snakes and still have a few since I downsized... I will talk snakes anytime if you want! :)

Here are the candoia I had-

Oh man, these are fantastic!!

Could you give me pointers on how to get my boy to feed? :/ He went off feed for two months, then ate a large fuzzy/weaned mouse, then has been off feed since beginning november.

Isn't loosing much weight, is still alert and active (as active as they can be...) but steadfastly refuses to eat.

Temp/humidity are fine, and nothing changed in his environment that would've caused him to go off feed.

He used to eat like clockwork when I got him, like... every week/week and a half. Then suddenly stopped.

He's making me insane! lol

He looks pretty plump in the photo. He's probably off feed for the winter many species tend to do this once they are sexually mature. As long as he was eating before and nothing has changed and he is not showing any signs of illness, I wouldn't worry. You can either continue to offer food to him regularly, and just give it to something else if it doesn't eat, or skip a week or two between offerings. He might eat here or there but he probably won't go back on feed until closer to spring. You shouldn't have to try anything fancy though. Just whatever he used to eat.

Ok, thank you very much for the info!! I knew they went off feed for certain period of time, but I'm used to my BP who eats like a whale lmao, so it still worried me.

Haha.... you lucked out with your bp then... trust me if you look up info about bp's going off feed, you will find a lot of it! I have quite a few ball pythons and most of them go off feed from time to time, although some of them will eat every time they are offered. I even had one female go off feed for 11 months before she decided to eat again!

Holy crap!! o_o I'd freak out if he did that. He only refused once, and that's when he was blue. My Rosy's gone off feed for about a month once, but he's a sausage, so I wasn't too worried lol.

It seems like it's not uncommon for many species to do this once they are sexually mature or almost there. I think the more snakes you have, the more you will see it happen. Shouldn't be anything to worry about if you haven't changed the environment and it was eating just fine before. :)
