Meet Linus, my Solomon Islands Tree Boa

I've actually had her (him? dunno) for a month now, but she's been difficult to capture on film (well, digital, but you know what I mean)
About 2 feet in length, and so far, I haven't directly witnessed her eat. I know she won't touch live or dead pinkies, and I've put some small frogs in her tank, which have gone missing, but it's possible they died and I can't find the bodies (they were very very small) so I'm going to try an anole next today. She's active and I know they have slow metabolisms, and sometimes stop eating for the winter, but beyond that, I know very little about them.





She is in a terrarium with plants native to the Solomons Island region, with temps and humidity as close as I can make them. The plants love it, as witnessed by their rapid growth (first time I've ever been successful with terrestrial plants) and she's very docile and inquisitive.

Very interesting snake. I like the native habitat that you have reproduced.

Wow that is a really cool-looking snake. Good luck with the feeding and everything, I've never seen a Solomon that looked like that. The terrarium looks great!

Thank you, she was named Linus because when I bought her, she had a death grip on the wood, and I had to buy that too. Took her a few days to uncoil from that and move around, then she promptly went and hid behind the backdrop for a few weeks. Now she seems comfortable enough that she hangs out on the climbing branches and a few other places.
I really enjoyed setting up a natural terrarium for her, it's something I've always wanted to do, a spotlight, if you will, for my desk.

Nice snake and set up looks nice. Congrats and good luck on the eating part.
