Fiji Boas..................... or Chameleons?

- February 08, 2012

Fiji Boas are famous for changing colour, but it's hard to catch them at it. Today I went to clean out their tank and found Constantine under the newspaper at her palest pink, and Magenta under a piece of bamboo in his most brooding dark... and yet some days they are identical.

All the babies out for cleaning...

Here is a tangle for you! All seven of our adult Fiji boas are in the holding tub while we clean out their tank. These snakes live together in large display tank, and seem to be quite companionable (for snakes....).

Naboo and Hecate

Our two newest, Naboo and Hecate. Can anyone name the name references...?

Our snakes

We've had these three Fiji Boas since they were born in captivity to their wild caught mothers.

The twins, Rifraf and Magenta, (turns out both males) were born in August 2006, Constantine (turned out female) was born in early 2007.

We'll post random events and some solid information here, that we hope will interest people looking for details of these snakes in their natural environment.

Candoia species are known as the Pacific Boas. Most of the South Pacific Countries have their own species of Candoia. For more information on these species look at

The Fiji Boa is Candoia bibroni bibroni, and is closely related to the Solomon Islands Candoia bibroni australis. They are relatively small, with a maximum adult length of about 2 metres / 6 feet. Males are much smaller than females, and may only reach about 1. 30cm /4 feet.
