I love the eyes too, but can't help but wonder, so these also undergo the color changes the Brazilians do throughout maturity? Can you imagine what this little guy would develop into? Wow!

Re: Epicrates subflavus
I find epicrates too rare to really know what they are at first, but they are wicked snakes! Arboreal boas must be one of the most fun snakes that can't kill you ever! Anymore pictures would be awesome of course!

Re: Epicrates subflavus
Go figure Tom has them...
I'm a little surprised that these have been classified as epicrates, they look more like corallus.

Re: Epicrates subflavus
I'm aware, but I'm curious as to why this one was classified as it was.

Re: Epicrates subflavus
The Jamaicans are very cool animals. Pricey, but cool.

Cliff, can you answer Kyle's question about what classifies these as Epicrates? I too am curious.
Thanks!

Re: Epicrates subflavus
You know, I'm not really sure why they are considered epicrates. Matters of scientific classification frequently leave me scratching my head in favor of looking at the pretty colors. ;-) Sorry. :-(
Ed, who used to drop by this forum every now and then, has a pair of them. He might have a better idea.
Wikipedia says they average around 6.5 feet as adults. It also says they are "considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild." :-(

Re: Epicrates subflavus
All the more reason to breed I'd say. So, I've heard the BRB market recently described as being stagnant. Maybe you and rainbowsrus can tell us what adjective you'd use to describe it? Definitely a point of interest for us future breeding stars!!
