About Us I would like to first like to thank Dave and Tracy Barker, Ralph Davis, and Jeff Ronne for various small parts of the information contained in this document. It was from their records that a lot of information on new color morphs was obtained. Their experiences and unknown assistance made this as informative as you see it now. I couldnt have done all of this without these guys. The common boa constrictor is often called the red-tailed boa or Colombian Boa in the pet trade. In truth, this boa has possibly the largest natural range of all boa sub-species ranging from Mexico through Central America and South American continent clear to Argentina. Corn Island Boas are currently listed as common boas at this time though work is underway which could totally reclassify the boa constrictors, as we currently know them. This work could even affect the boa c. constrictor, true red-tail boas.

Extractions: Boa Constrictor Snakes A little bit about Boas Surinam Red-tailed Boa Photo credited to Lloyd Lemke Boas live in high cloud forests all the way to the dry low lands. They are frequently found near human habitation. Boas are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular (active at dawn and dusk). They will often go through several weeks of inactivity to get through the periods of cold or drought, this can be observed in captivity too as the weather changes throughout the year. The snakes living in the high humid temperatures of the rain forest will remain active throughout the year. Boas capture and kill their prey by wrapping their powerful muscular bodies around the prey and squishing them to death. Boas as Pets Living Conditions A Boa needs lots of room! This snake will grow very fast and you will need a cage that will hold a 10 foot snake that will weigh 50 pounds or more! They will appreciate it if you decorate their cage with a big log or some other kind of cover they can use for privacy. Heating lamps are needed to keep the temperature around 82-90 F during the day and 78-85 F at night. Lamps with timers and controls are very convenient for keeping the temperature just right. Special reptile heating pads are good as well. Remember, whenever you get a Boa it is a pet for life, mainly because zoos already have an over abundency of snakes and there are not many other places to take them if you decide you do not want to keep it. So make sure that you can afford to feed and keep this snake before buying one.

Extractions: In the book it said: "Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion." I pondered deeply, then, over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. It looked like this: I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: "Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?" My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of the boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. My Drawing Number Two looked like this:

Extractions: Last Updated: April 22, 1997 There has been a disturbing increase over the past year or so (1996 to present) of boas being dumped by their owners (many of whom tried to sell the 6+ foot boa only to find that, no matter how much they reduced their price, no one was interested in buying) on animal shelters and reptile rescues. Many of these snakes are in terrible condition, with respiratory infections, riddled with endo- and ectoparasites, many suffering severe injury and infection from untreated rat bites and thermal burns. This is a clear indication that many people who are buying boas shouldn't be. ....and read about inclusion body disease , a virus that affects only boas and pythons and that has become increasingly widespread as stores and too many breeders and dealers fail to take proper precautions when integrating new stock. It is always fatal to pythons and generally fatal to boas. If you have a boa or python and are considering buying another one, quarantine it for at least 6 months!

Extractions: CAPTIVE CARE FOR BOA CONSTRICTORS AND PYTHONS by Edward M. Craft HISTORY AND GENERAL INFORMATION There are some 39 species and 12 genera of boas that make up this group of New World snakes. They vary in habitat and can be found on at least 4 continents: South America, Australia, Africa and Asia. Captive lengths range from about 6-9 feet with wild specimens having been recorded to reach upwards of 12 feet. Some species are more aggressive than others and range in color patterns and morphs among the captive specimens available to the pet trade. Pythons are found on three continents: Africa, Asia and Australia. The two most common species kept as pets are the ball python, the smallest and some of the most difficult of the pythons to keep in captivity, and the Burmese python one of the largest of the pythons. Given this varied preference in size it would appear that most owners desire either a very large snake or a relatively small snake with little desire for anything in the middle. Because of this it is very important to decide which category you, as a potential owner fall into. Always taking into consideration the cost of maintaining and caring for the particular snake you desire. GENERAL CAPTIVE REQUIREMENTS Smaller species, such as the Ball Python, may be housed in a standard 20-gallon long glass aquarium throughout their entire life. Larger species, such as the common Boa Constrictor, will require a much larger enclosure based on their estimated adult size. A good general rule for enclosure size for larger species is to ensure that the enclosure is a minimum of one and one half the total length of the snake in enclosure length and one half the snake length in enclosure width. The height of the enclosure should be based on the particular species. Tree dwelling species will require a taller enclosure, while ground dwelling species will require more floor area.

Extractions: Diet and Feeding - Boa Constrictors eat rodents when they're young (appropriate-sized mice and rats). Juveniles should be fed as much as they'll take in one sitting,once a week. As they grow, feed them bigger and bigger rodents until they can eat several large rats at a single feeding. After that, many keepers switch their boas to eating pre-killed rabits or chickens. Habits - Boas are mainly crepuscular ( coming out at dawn and dusk) and nocturnal, becoming active when the lighs are dimmed. In the wild, they hide in burrows or under deep foliage during the day and emerge at night to search for food. This snake tends to be arboreal, at least in part, but older, larger snakes prefer to stay near the ground, camouflaged among the leaf litter by their brown saddle-pattern. Juveniles are more arboreal and may be found in the wild among the branches in a wide variety of habitats, from rain forests to savannnas and fields. In captivity it will utilize branches and other climbing surfaces in the cage as it roams at night.

Quarantine Puts The squeeze On Illegal Boa Constrictors - Minister Truss

http://www.affa.gov.au/ministers/truss/releases/02/02322wt.html

Extractions: Quick thinking Australian Quarantine and Inspection Service (AQIS) officers have foiled an attempt to smuggle two boa constrictors into Australia, Federal Minister for Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Warren Truss said today. Quarantine and Customs officers discovered the boas at the Melbourne International Mail Centre last week during routine x-ray surveillance of international mail. X-ray images of the parcels contents were unclear; however, with the expertise and experience of AQIS and Customs officers the images were ultimately correctly identified as snakes, Mr Truss said. The snakes a native species of South America were found in a parcel from Greece, and carried a South Australian mailing address. They were 58-60 centimetres in length and aged six to eight months old. One boa was identified as male; the sex of the other is yet to be determined. The reptiles were packaged in a one-litre vacuum flask-type container, with a sealed lid that had a small airhole. The contents of the parcel were undeclared on the attached documentation.

Extractions: Boa Constrictor Common Name Boa Constrictor Scientific Name Boa Constrictor Family Boidae Order Squamata Class Reptilia The class Reptilia includes turtles, tortoises, crocodiles, alligators, lizards, snakes, amphisbaenians and the Tuatara. This group is characterized by scaly skin, lungs, a three-chambered heart and internal fertilization. Most lay tough-shelled eggs on land; some bear live young. Often called "cold-blooded," reptiles are dependent on the environment to adjust their body temperature; they move into and out of warm and cool areas as necessary. Reptiles evolved from the ancient amphibians at a time when improved jaw and locomotor structures allowed them to take advantage of a rapidly-growing food source - terrestrial insects. Included in the family Boidae are the anacondas, boas and pythons. This group is considered to be the most primitive of the snakes because its members have recognizable hip girdles and vestigial hindlimbs in the form of spurs found in front of the cloaca. All boids are constrictors and coil around their prey to kill it by suffocation. Some have heat-sensitive organs along the lips; a few have pits housing these organs.

Extractions: go back to the VPI.com Home Page. Maintenance Requirements Caramel-albino Boa Gallery Scientific name: Boa constrictor imperator Other common names This is the boa subspecies most often encountered in captivity. There are in use a variety of different names all referring to this subspecies, including simply "boa constrictor." This form of boa may be referred to as the pet store boa constrictor, redtail boa, Colombian redtail boa, pet store redtail, and red-tailed boa constrictor. In fact many common boa constrictors do have a red tail, distinctly different in color than the rest of the body; however, the common name of "red-tailed boa" is also commonly applied to the South American boa constrictor, Boa constrictor constrictor , which typically has an even redder tail. The common boa has an extensive distribution in nature and many geographic names have come to be used to refer to this subspecies, including; Mexican boa, Sonoran desert boa, Yucatan boa, Central American boa, El Salvador boa, Nicaraguan boa, Panamanian boa and Colombian boa. Currently the Hog island boa is identified as a common boa constrictor, Boa constrictor imperator Size This is a relatively slender elongate boa. The head is very distinct from the neck, the body is laterally compressed, the tail is long and strongly prehensile. Large specimens attain considerable bulk and may weigh 40-50 pounds. Adult specimens in most U.S. collections average about 4½-8 feet in total length. The maximum size of this form purportedly approaches 12 feet in total length, but the biggest we have seen were 9-10 feet long.
Maintenance Requirements, Common Boa
Cage size, Common boa constrictors require a secure wellventilated cage. Youngadult boa constrictors are given 2-4 square feet of floor space.
http://www.vpi.com/8VPICareSheets/Boas/boaconstrictor/BoaConstrictorMaint.htm

Extractions: of Common Boas Cage size We maintain newborn boa constrictors in an enclosure with about 40 square inches of floor space until they are about six months of age. Young adult boa constrictors are given 2-4 square feet of floor space. Given space and lots of food, common boas grow very quickly to six feet in length, and then their rate of growth begins to slow. By four to six years of age, most adult females will require an enclosure with 10-12 square feet of floor space. Substrate It has been our experience and observation that this species does extremely well on either aspen bedding or on newspaper. Both are easy to maintain at a satisfactory level of sanitation. Boas can be successfully maintained on a variety of substrates, including sand, potting soil, clean gravel, or cypress bark chips. HOWEVER, we do not recommend any of those substrates for the average keeper interested in an efficient and easy-to-maintain set-up. Using those substrates, it is difficult to maintain clean cage conditions without excessive diligence. Boa constrictors of all ages will spend a lot of time climbing and resting up off the floor of the cage if provided with branches or fixed dowels. The laterally compressed body and strongly prehensile tail are physical evidence of arboreal tendencies in this species. However, most boa constrictors are quite happy in a cage set up for a terrestrial snake. Only rarely will some individuals require perches above the floor of the cage in order to feed.
Common Boa Constrictor
boa constrictors range from 4 to 12 feet in length, and very rarelycan reach 15 feet. Life Cycle boa constrictors are ovoviviparous.
http://www.garden-city.org/zoo/animalinfo/common_boa_constrictor.htm

Extractions: Boa constrictors are ovoviviparous. That means that they keep their eggs inside their body until the eggs hatch, and then give birth to the baby snakes. Gestation lasts 3-5 months, and 8-60 young can be born in a litter. Litter size increases with the age and size of the female. Snakes do not care for their young, so a large litter size helps to increase the chances that some of the young snakes will survive.
