Candoia adalah genus non-berbisa Boas ,ditemukan di sebagian besar di New Guinea dan Melanesia. Empat spesies saat ini diakui


deskripsi

Anggota dalam genus ini biasanya memiliki tubuh bulat dan berat, dengan kepala datar berbentuk segitiga, dan hidung terbalik. Warna dan pola bervariasi, tetapi sebagian besar adalah berbagai nuansa cokelat sampai hitam. Mereka dapat bervariasi dalam ukuran dewasa dari 60 cm sampai 1,8 m. jantan biasanya lebih kecil dibandingkan betina  dan dapat dibedakan dengan taji di cloaca mereka .


Kisaran geografis

Ditemukan dari Samoa dan Tokelau barat melalui Melanesia ke New Guinea dan Kepulauan Maluku .


tingkah laku

Semua malam hari/ nocturnal.


makanan

Diet utama terdiri dari katak dan kadal.


reproduksi

Perkembangbiakan terjadi di awal tahun, biasanya setelah hujan. Beberapa pejantan akan mendekati dan mengejar wanita tunggal, tidak ada pertempuran antara jantan. Betina tampaknya hanya ovulasi sekali setiap dua atau tiga tahun dan melahirkan rata-rata 10 atau lebih neonatus. Boa tanah pulau  Solomon , C. carinata paulsoni merupakan pengecualian seperti yang dikenal memiliki liter sangat besar, kadang-kadang menghasilkan 30 atau 40 neonatus kecil.


captivity

Ular ini sering diimpor untuk perdagangan hewan peliharaan eksotis, tetapi sekarang dibesarkan di penangkaran dengan beberapa keteraturan oleh individu swasta. Ukurannya yang kecil dan kemudahan perawatan membuat mereka pet yang menarik, namun spesimen tangkapan  liar  tidak diketahui dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan baik. Stres penangkaran memanifestasikan dirinya dalam bentuk kurangnya minat dalam makanan. Pakan alami mereka sering menyajikan masalah bagi hobiis terutama yang akrab dengan menggunakan tikus sebagai makanan.

TEKS ASLI :

Candoia

    Common names: bevel-nosed boas, keel-scaled boas.
Candoia is a genus of non-venomous boas found in mostly in New Guinea and Melanesia. Four species are currently recognized.


Description

Members in this genus typically have a rounded and heavy body, with a flattened triangular shaped head, and an upturned nose. Colors and patterns vary greatly, but most are various shades of brown to black. They can vary in adult size from 60 cm to 1.8 m. Males are typically smaller than females and can be distinguished by their prominent cloacal spurs.


Geographic range

Found from Samoa and Tokelau west through Melanesia to New Guinea and the Maluku Islands.


Behavior

All are primarily nocturnal.


Feeding

The primary diet consists of frogs and lizards.


Reproduction

Breeding occurs early in the year, typically after rains. Several males will approach and pursue a single female, though, there is no combat between the males. Females seem to only ovulate once every two or three years and give birth to litters averaging 10 or so neonates. The Solomon Island ground boa, C. carinata paulsoni is an exception as it is known to have particularly large litters, occasionally producing 30 or 40 small neonates.



Captivity

These snakes are frequently imported for the exotic pet trade, but are now being bred in captivity with some regularity by private individuals. Their small size and ease of care make them interesting captives, but wild caught specimens are not known to acclimate well. The stress of captivity manifests itself in the form of lack of interest in food. Their natural diet often presents a problem for hobbyists mainly familiar with using rodents as food.
