Hey Folks,
I found a couple of pictures on the net that I wanted to share with you. They are not mine and I don't have the right to repost them, so it has to be links.

This first one is of a BRB. What a shot. IMHO, amazing.

This next one is pretty cool too. "Puerto Rican Boa Epicrates inornatus" is what is on the title. It has a little bit of a story there too. Does anyone have some general info on thei species?

Neat looking. Hope you enjoy,
Rob

Rob,
...That is a nice PIC of the inornatus. The inornatus in their scientific name is because they are usually dark and plain. I hunted for Peurto Rican Boas for a couple weeks but did not see any. They are rare but sightings are reported to be common in a few places in PR. They eat birds and bats as adults. Little ones like most of the other insular Epicrates eat lizards. People I have talked to who have either caught them in the wild or kept them in captivity say they are prone to bite. The Tolson and Henderson book "The Natural History of West Indian Boas" has good info about all non cenchria Epicrates species and also the dwarf boas.
