Candoia carinata, known commonly as the Pacific ground boa, Pacific keel-scaled boa, or Indonesian tree boa,[citation needed] is a species of snake in the familyBoidae.[2]
Males of C. c. paulsoni are smaller and lighter than females,[3] and show spurs. Males are 0.9–1.0 m (35–39 in) long, and 300–400 g (11–14 oz) in weight. Females are generally 1.2–1.4 m (47–55 in) in length and weigh 1.0–1.2 kg (2.2–2.6 lb). The colour varies from dark brown to auburn with distinct patterns, though there is also the color morph "paulsoni santa isabella ", which is white.
