Argentine Boa
(Boa constrictor occidentalis)
------------------------------------------

Boa constrictor occidentalis is critically endangered in
nature due to habitat loss and degradation. The
temperate forests and rocky slopes where they are still
holding out are cut for fuel or materials and mined for
hard-rock mineral deposits. Major universities there are
pioneering efforts to save these unique animals from
extinction through captive reproduction and ultimate
reintroduction as a last-ditch attempt to keep them from
disappearing from the wild.

Amazon Tree Boa
(Corallus hortulanus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amazon Tree Boas are a boa species that are incredibly adapted to life in the trees. They live, eat, drink (raindrops and mist that
gathers on the leaves), mate, and give birth, in the trees of tropical South America. Without getting too specific, Amazons can be
found throughout a huge range of South America including Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Surinam, French Guiana, Peru, Brazil,
and probably many other areas as well.

Amazon Tree Boas are one of the most fascinating snake species in the world. They exhibit an infinite variety of colors and
patterns. Their basic colors can be anywhere from black, brown, or gray, to literally any shade of red, orange, yellow, or any color
in between. Some are totally patternless, while others may be speckled, banded, or saddled with rhomboid or chevron shapes.
Some reds will have yellow patterns, some yellows red or orange patterns.

Rosy Boa
(Lichanura trivirgata myriolepis, Lichanura trivirgata roseofusca, Lichanura trivirgata trivirgata, Lichanura trivirgata gracia)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rosy Boas are small ground boas that inhabit the Mojave, Colorado, and Sonora Deserts of southern California, western Arizona,
Baja California, and mainland Mexico. They also inhabit the coastal scrub areas of southern California and northwest Baja
California. Rosy Boas exist within a variable temperature range, manipulated by natural land barriers.

Within their geographic range, Rosy Boas seem to prefer habitat consisting of rock outcroppings or talus. The fact is, they are
commonly found in a broad spectrum of habitats. Coastal animals can be found in habitat consisting of scrub chaparral, with very
little or no rocks at all. In the Magdalena Plains area of Baja California Sur, they are found on the road through agricultural and
dune areas, with no rocks for miles. What is consistent is that they prefer high annual sun exposure, of at least 90%. This type of
an environment enables them to utilize their natural traits of diurnal, crepuscular and nocturnal activity, low metabolic rate, and
heat sensing abilities to capitalize on their natural resources. Rock outcroppings, talus, and ground borrows in areas consisting of
high sun exposure, create a natural thermal gradient for rosys to theromregulate, yet remain concealed from predators and the
elements. This also helps to insure moist conditions throughout the year. Rosys are more commonly found in micro habitats with
southern exposure and the presence of permanent or seasonal water.

Rainbow Boa
(Epicrates cenchria cenchria, Epicrates cenchria maurus, Epicrates cenchria crassus)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rainbow boas are so named because of the iridescent sheen imparted by microscopic ridges on their scales which act like
prisms to refract light into rainbows. They can be found from Costa Rica through central South America in forests, woodlands,
plains and swamps. They are primarily nocturnal creatures, sleeping during the day and prowling at night. Rainbow boas range
from 4 to 7 feet in length and can live for 20 years in captivity.

There are around nine to a dozen subspecies of rainbow boa (Epicrates cenchria sp). The most common in captivity are the
Brazilian (E.c. cenchria) and the Colombian (E.c. maurus). Other subspecies can be found from time to time. Not all are well
defined and various subspecies have been interbred in captivity making identification of unknown subspecies a challenge.
Differences are found in color, pattern and size. Juveniles have a very distinct pattern of ocelli which fades with age in some
subspecies (e.g., E.c. maurus). The Brazilians (E.c. cenchria) are the largest with a length of around 6 or 7 feet. They are a slender
boa, so a 6 foot rainbow boa is nowhere near as massive as a 6 foot common boa. Colombian rainbow boas (E.c. maurus) are
typically 5 to 6 feet in length. The smallest subspecies is undescribed (by taxonomists), originating from the Jonestown area in
Guyana (northern South America) (E.c. ssp.). This subspecies rarely exceeds 4 in length.
