	Rainbow boa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Rainbow Boa, or Slender Boa, is one of several terrestrial boas, of genus Epicrates, known for their attractive patterns.
		Rainbow Boas are distributed throughout most of Central America, the Caribbean, and South America.
		The term Rainbow Boa is applied both to the entire genus Epicrates, or to the species Epicrates cenchria (also known as the Slender Rainbow Boa).

	Jamaican Yellow Boa Epicrates Subflavus
		Rats are a major component of the boa's diet in forest edge / farm habitat, so when a farmer finds one coiled in a coffee tree or banana plant, it's digesting a meal which would have otherwise damaged their crops.
		During her research on the breeding biology of Black-billed Parrots, Susan identified that boas were a major cause of nest failure...
		We are finding that there may be a pattern emerging, as regards the sex of the boas we capture, by time of year and their position in the habitat (eg increase in encounter rates with gravid females basking on the ground), though our sample size is still small.

		Although a few colubrids and others also rely on this method of subduing their prey, boas are extremely powerful even for their size, and have perfected this means like no other group of ophidians.
		This is a phenomenon resulting from the molecular structure of the upper layers of skin cells (and in such way similar to that of a hummingbird's feathers), and is thus unrelated to the actual pigment of their scales.
		This small boa, up to about 1 meter in length, is also arboreal in habits, and feeds mostly on lizards, especially anoles.

	Bimini Boa Information Page
		The Bimini boa (Bimini Island boa; Epicrates striatus fosteri; Barbour 1941) is one of eight recognized subspecies of the insular Haitian, Fischer's, or Hispaniolan boas, endemic to the Bahama Islands and Hispaniola in the West Indies.
		The Bimini boa is distributed on four islands in the Bahamas: North Bimini Island, South Bimini Island, East Bimini Island, and Easter Cay.
		Several zoos and private individuals maintain small collections of the boa, although, whether sufficient numbers of the animals are present in captivity to sustain a viable population remains to be seen.

	Saving the Jamaican Iguana: King of Reptiles (Jamaica)
		Several strategies have since been adopted to ensure the survival of the Jamaican Iguana, which after all forms part of the island’s history and which is an integral part of its heritage.
		Therefore the Jamaican Iguana is still in critical danger from the influx of exotics (the mongoose, cats, dogs and wild pigs) and by the continued use of charcoal burning eradicating their natural habitat.
		With all the valiant efforts that have thus far been made to ensure the survival of the Jamaican Iguana, it is sincerely hoped that the situation is rectified in the very near future.

		For example, in Jamaica, the largest land herbivores are a lizard (Jamaican Iguana - which grows to a meter and a half in length), and a rodent (Jamaican Hutia or "Coney"), and the largest land predator is a snake (Jamaican Boa).
		Since dispersal across the sea happens rarely, a species colonising the island will be separated from the parent population and often evolve into a new species that then occurs nowhere else.
		Such exclusively Jamaican species are referred to as "endemic" to the island.

		Guyana rainbow boa's are very similar to another subspecies, the Campina grande rainbow boa (E.c.assisi) of which is only found in Brazil, however a small number of Europeans are breeding this subspecies, which as adults are a lot smaller than that of the Guyana rainbow boa.
		This is a very rarely seen species of rainbow boa, with very little information around about these, and photo's in books showing youngsters, it was a challenge to make sure I knew what I had.
		These rainbow boa's have the girth of a Columbian (E.c.maurus), and look similar to the Guyana (E.c.sp.), however they are a lot lighter in colour, in fact in certain lights have a nice yellowish colour to there sides.

		Be careful not to find a colony of a interesting species in the middle of a bush of "courage" (plant) you will notice it sooner or later, but it is everywhere, specially at the snail spots.
		Karstic areas are dangerous for people that doesn't have field experience, moving in mountain areas or forests, many of the stones you see are not stable, just stepping on one that is going to move could be a risk, as it is going to roll down, may be hiting your friend or car.
		There are also many chances to get lost, I knew of a aboriginal Kingston Jamaican that took the wrong trail and was lost for a day until he was found, the valleys look all similar and what you think is near could be really far.

		Today, the iguana’s persistence is threatened by attack from both invasive predators and the charcoal burners who are systematically destroying the remnant forest.
		The reptile fauna consists of 16 species, 12 of which are endemic, and many of which are considered threatened, including the Jamaican Boa Epicrates subflavus, VU.
