Awesome looking JB's there Linds. They really aren't respected out here by the majority of people, Jamaicans have a VERY bad stigma of snakes, ESPECIALLY big-ish ones. unfortunately some when come across are killed, just ignorance/stupidity. it really is a sin. a great snake IMO.

and a bit of pointless info for the day , they're known locally as "Yellow Snakes" or "Yellow Boas"

I'd love to get one one day , I'll stick to my BP's for now though.

Thanks! Ya... from all the research I've been able to gather, they have pretty well been knocked out by the locals. It's truly a shame, and why it is so important to keep them alive as a species in captivity. I've heard them referred to as Yellow Boas, and also as Black-tailed Boas. Up here, we just call 'em Jamaicans :sun:
