Yes, Nebulosus are Clouded boas. Orophias just seem to be called St. Lucian boas. AS far as captivity goes, I believe people were keeping them way to warm. Terry told me the ones he caught were hot to the touch living in the volcanic vents. The 3 we caught were right around 83-85 deg. even though the pair were right next to a vent. Our neighbors at the hotel saw one constricting an Iguana delicatissima just 10' off the beach with no vents around for miles. This leads me to believe that normal boa temps would be just fine.



Good luck in Zihuatanejo. Where the heck is that anyway. Mexico? My advice is to talk to the natives. They probably won't collect any for you (we could never get them to) but they should be able to point you in the right direction to look.
