I live in Puerto Rico and I think what you guys are doing to protect and breed the puertorican boa is great. I always wanted to do the same, to have a pair of my own and breed them and then release the babies to the wild in El Yunque Rainforest but since they are protected the law of PR by the DRNA dont allow me to do that or to even keep one.

One time I once captured a baby near my grandfathers house in Cayey and they look great when babies, but that was a few years back after that I havent seen any other boas around. Its a shame cause some snakes wonder into peoples houses and many end up being killed or eaten by cats or dogs. There are many endangered herp species here which many people dont know about and I always loved reptiles and have kept some for many years.

IF you guys need info or help with anything you can contact me any time moncho420@live.com
