Re: Questionable Info.
Corallus (Tree boa's) Are such a small subspecies.It just struck me odd that Pythons were not mentioned at all. I have since found out,(Still researching) That boas have heat sensors in the corner of their mouth's. Has anyone else heard that?

Re: Questionable Info.
No need to feel stupid guys. There seems to be something here we can learn from.

That's right... Absorb and process what you read before responding.

Re: Questionable Info.
Hey Wayne, don't beat yourself up. I had to re read that passage several times before I figured out what was off about it. And I say off, not wrong, because. I was unaware that tree boas had pits. I think, what can be learned is as knowledgeable as we think we are, we don't know everything.
Merry Christmas sSnakeSs.com Community!

Re: Questionable Info.
Boas AND pythons both come from the family of boids so technically no one is wrong.

Re: Questionable Info.
I don't know the current thinking re: phylogeny, but I've seen authors describe pythons both as a separate family (pythonidae) and as a clade within boidae. That might be what the author is thinking. OTOH, it might also be an exclusion error or a mistranslation.
On a not-particularly-related note: do you guys think that it should be "pit viper," "pit-viper," or "pitviper" (i.e., two words, hyphenated, or one word)?
