Hello..

I can start with that I am not so good at English but I do try.

I wonder if somebody have fact about how many scales Boa constrictor constrictor have.

And if you now the scales on other Boa constrictor ssp you can write that to.

Thanks // Johannes

a good book on this subject that goes into specific localities is "The Boa Constrictor Manuel," by Philippe de Vosjoli, Jeff Ronne, and Roger Klingenberg.

bascially they are highly variable but according to the book, bcc has between 234-250 ventral scales, and less than 20 dorsal blotches. 85-95 mdbody scale rows. bci is said to have fewer than 253 ventral scales.

hope this helps, chris
