Of the types that we have had in the US at one time or another, Frank is right. I don't think any have been brought into the country since 1990 and I don't believe any have been produced since 1991. I believe both Terry Vandeventer and Terry Wilkins produced them that year from wild caught adults. I don't believe anyone ever did it again after that. If any of those animals are still around they would be 18 years old this year. Bob Sears also bred and produced these in the 1980's.

Orophius are very rare too. I think there may be a few of them around. Bob Sears also produced these back in the 1980's. Terry Wilkins produced some too and I believe several others have as well.

There are also many little Islands that hold their own insular forms of Boa Constrictors that nobody has ever collected, and hopefully never will.

Man! Am I getting old!
