Hi
I thought some of you might get a kick out of what some of the boas from Honduras look like. I know that lots of folks have seen Honduran strains, etc. However, this is a large 2.4 meter female that I found with my friend Jorge Ferrari during a collecting expedition this past November.
Actually, Jorge deserves the credit. We were hiking back to camp and he just happened to flip a fallen bannan leaf!
That sure made our morning interesting!
We found this specimen at Jeanette Kawas National Park at Punta Sal, Atlantida, Honduras.
Saludos,
