Awesome! Makes me glad places like that still exist. But I am jealous, since I've yet to find a rubber boa in the wild... Not that I have a lot of time to go look for them... LOL

It took me 2 years before I found my first Rubber boa , But there not that hard to find once you learn there habits and habitat .

Jason:
Ryan told me of your find. I mentioned that this unique discovery should be communicated via a shorter communication in a journal such as the Herp. Review edited by Robert Hansen.
