These are couple Candoia carinata paulsoni I produced in 2000. This species is quite diverse and almost no two look the same.
I particularily like the high contrast black and white ones, and am selectively trying to breed for this trait. Ones with lots of red and pinks can also be very attractive. I also used to produce solid brick red ones, but I gave that gene away, and haven't produced red ones in a decade or more.
My breeder female, the mother of these died last year , so I haven't produced any this year.
But this female(the bigger one) might produce in 04, and I have many more holdbacks. It would be nice to see more Canadians breeding Candoia.
They are small, beautiful and low maintenance.
The only drawback is tiny babies, that frequently require forcefeeding for the first few meals, but they click in usually fairly quickly

The photo below shows a black and white male and a typical pink/reddish female.
Males stay small in this speices. These are siblings
