Anyone Work With Candoia Asper (Viper Boa)?
Hey all just wondering if anyone up here in Canada is currently working with this species. Been talking to a few of our southern breeders, and they will ship these snakes to Canada but only with a large order! wich kinda sucks when all you want is just the pair lol, anyways anyone that knows of breeders who currently work with this species please post names, or websites so i can get in contact with them!
Josh

You can try Port Credit Pets in Missisauga Ont. They import on a regular basis. I'm not sure if they get c.b. but they should be able to get w.c.

Pix, you're so humble.. You should have mentioned that you bred them a decade ago...
The only two in Canada I've heard beeding those is you and Angus in Alberta.. and I think Angus might have had babies from WC imports, not quite sure .
I sure would love to own a couple like these rare red ones(courtesy Jerry Conway)

Gotta agree with Josh on this one!! They look heavy like a Blood Python and they have a totaly insane color!!! I've been looking on the net for some good infos about them but i haven't found anything credible yet... Do you have any good sources? Hehe, perhaps i should ask Piers?!?

Not much to tell I kept them low to mid 80s. they like it moist not wet, and like to be in/under the substrait. I used wood chips/mulch and they seemed to do well. once I got them eating they were pigs! If I remember the female ate almost up till she had the babies.

i heard these bady boys are super agressive...any truth to this, or did yours calm down after a while?, and if you/ve ever been tagged, how strong was the bite, and how painful?

Yeah very nippy. not so much as agressive as defensive. As for the bite, not bad for their size. They will draw blood but its a fast bite and usually don't hold on.
They do calm down if your'e willing to put the time in.
Very cool animals fat body flat head just plain neat!

Just do a big order and put what you don't want to keep up for sale. You'll likely be able to mark up the ones you sell for enough to pay for yours.
Free boas, if you can put the money up front.
