Hi,
well there are some publications on the i-net that deal with these animals. Here a few of them. I guess you know them already:
The thermal biology of digestion in rubber boas (Charina bottae): behavior, physiology, and environmental constraints.

1997 , Physiological Zoology 70:292-300

-------
Daily body temperature variation in free-ranging rubber boas.

If you are at www.herpers-digest.com just input the "rubber" as a keyword and you'll find them.
I do not know anything about Mr. Newton. Actually I've never even heard of him but I'm not a professional so I don't know if he is.
Cheers,
Wulf
