Here's a couple of pics of one of my Hispanolan Vine Boa [Epicrates gracilis]. She had babies today so far 3 live ones and one dead neonate. It looks like she's going to have a few more though. These I think are the weirdest Boa on the planet and sadly most herpers don't even know they exist. Babies are bright orange in color...Thanks

Tom,

You could have Photoshopped pics, so in the name of education, please send me one so I can be convinced they exist.

Seriously, thanks for posting. ALWAYS nice to see the less common Epicrates species.

Thanks,
Ed

Congrats Tom.

Well done. Fantastic species.

Now this is really something!!!! I'm impressed with how big the babies seem in comparison to the size of the female... they seem pretty big!!!! Let's hope that they all eat well for you . Please keep us updated on their development!!!!

It is very great to have good pics of them since they are so rare... it's fascinating to see their similarities with E.fordi and E.monensis !!!!
