The ground boa counterparts aren't nearly as difficult to get eating or to breed. They're a hearty, angry snake which can take much larger food than the tree boas, which makes them easy to keep. They are not, however, pleasant animals to work with and that's why you don't see them in any numbers in private collections.
I looked after a
Candoia carinata while a buddy went over seas for a year and it was not something I'd do again. Angry, unpredictable and problematic, it was probably the worst herp experience I've had. Those things just aren't happy being captive, but the are easy to care for. The problem in breeding the ground boas is finding homes for them - people tend to steer clear of them.
