Terry Vandeventer is, or was. Not sure how to get in touch with him anymore though.

Here's a big female that Kevin & I caught a bit less than a year ago. I don't know of anyone who has them in captivity anymore though. Terry did bring some in years ago as did another party a few years later. I'm sure there are still a few around but I havn't heard of any in the past few years. The last pair I heard of were the ones I had several years ago.

Good luck finding them. They are kinda ugly at least until you catch them in the wild. Then they seem to grow on you a bit & I wouldn't mind working with them again.

Trully great looking animal. I remember those snakes when Joe Wazelouski( dont remember if thats how you spell it) used to get em all the time back in 87 - 92.. after that i never once remembered anyone ever breeding them or even owning one. It really would be intresting to see those animals come back and have someone work with em. They werent the prettiest but they were certainly unique in their own right . It would be a shame if they became extinct in the boa world , wild or captive. Thanks again... Koky
