give birth to live young.



If I am not mistaken Eryx, Trophidophis and Ungaliophis (not sure on the spelling of the last two) are not classified as true boas.



I think the only true boa genuses are Boa, Epicrates, Corallus, and Eunectus. The Madagascan boas should be too but I don't recall the genus name and I'm not certain on Candoia.



I haven't really kept up with the taxonomy of the other species because I'm not working with them so I could be wrong.
