At least I know I'm not crazy!



I don't know about the Round Island species or Trophidophis or Ungaliophis, but generally snakes got dropped into the boa or python category because they had vestigial limbs (spurs).



Rough Scaled Sand boas were the first species I ever bred, I sexed them by looking for spurs. Males have them females don't. I also think they were reclassified, but I'm not sure. They were Eryx conicus when I bred them 3 years ago.
