Babies are climbers!



Candoia are often called "Ground Boas". Well, here's proof that the Fiji Candoia bibroni bibroni are certainly arboreal for a lot of their life. Not only did Mazikeen climb up to the top branch of her tank to (literally) drop her babies, the first thing they did on being put into their new tank an hour after birth was shoot straight up to the highest point they could find. And even though I provided them with lots of nice toilet roll hides, newspaper layers and dried ferns to burrow in, they still prefer the ridge at the very top of the container. Makes opening the tank an adventure....
