Nice little emerald boa. You don't do paphs, but you do bulbos well.


Olasana Island is in the South Pacific east of New Guinea, so the snake should be a green tree python instead of the emerald boa.

The coloring is a touch pastel too to be an emerald.
 
Is your B. nitidum on the same branch as the M. dischorense? If so, does yours routinely have issues with keeping leaves? Mine recently had a bunch turn black and fall off, but the bulbs stay green and healthy. It's putting out 4-5 new growths, but I'm down to like two mature leaves.
 
Zach, did you just get your nitidum? They loose leaves pretty easily when adjusting, but it's no biggie. It gets same conditions as dischorense.
 
Nah, I got one from Jon last fall. It grew well for a while, then the leaves started getting black tips and dropping off. I think the mix it was in started to break down and was staying too wet in my tank. I took it out the basket the other day and it sort of divided itself into a few pieces with new growths. I have them all mounted on cork now back in the tank.
 
That's what I figured. I moved it to the cork mount and just put a tiny sprig of the live moss I have popping up everywhere on the mount. I water it daily or every other day now.
