Is it possible to get any close up shots of the eyes? They are very unique. The only thing similar in a boa that I've seen are in Blood Boas.

Typically by evolution, if an animal is equipped with large solid black eyes, it has been genetically engineered for very low light living conditions.

Why this would come about in an animal that is not natively cave dwelling, nor deep sea dwelling, is beyond me. But still interesting, nonetheless.
