You know almost the entire population of Cay Caulker Boas live around the dump. It's a huge landfill connected to the sea filled with garbage and American Crocodiles. The crocs use the fill areas as nesting sites and the thousands of Ctenosaura similis that live there live in burrows dug on the banks of the landfill. Boas there as adults and juvies feed almost exclusively on the Spiny Iguanas with an occasional bird thrown in. I've never seen a rodent of any kind on Cay Caulker. The Cay lies about 40-50 miles off the coast of Belize and is totally isolated with almost the entire population living in one spot so inbreeding is assured. It stands to reason that color morphs should pop out sometimes because of the total lack of new genetic material. I've always thought of them as being very much like CanCun Boas. Now Crawl Cay Boas are another matter. I'll save that story for another time.....
