Candoia carinata, known commonly as the Pacific ground boa, Pacific keel-scaled boa, or Indonesian tree boa, is a species of snake in the family Boidae. Candoia carinata is found in Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago. The name carinata (Latin, carinate or keeled) alludes to the prominent keels characteristic of the species. At the time the name was proposed, the species was the only booid snake known with keeled scales.
