Rarest Boa

[heinekenRTB]

What do you guys think, or know, the rarest boa is, i was just curious

[telefrag]

probably Corallus cropani,
but im sure the round island boa is a close second.
caseria dusmeresi, or something like that, I can never remember its latin name.


Epicrates subflavus is getting pretty rare too.

[heinekenRTB]

i remeber hearing about a jungle morph boa, i havent seen it in reall life just one picture on the internet that was really fuzzy and was hard to make out th patterns ? ill try and find it for ya.

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

Every individual boa is rare......unless you have twins, then you can call me stupid.

this may be true but the only thing that can be rare is thier patterns, or so i would like to think, but in acctuallity there are many species of a boa from what i understand, having said that, i think there has to be one 'rarest species' even if its endagered, im not tryin to buy one of them, just curious on what is the rarest one.

Corallus cropani dont even exist in captivity, so no you cant buy those.

round island boas are only in one or two animal care facilities< I think the jersey wildlife preservation trust has most of them.
you cant buy those anywhere.

Now Epicrates subflavus, if you have a certain USDI permit, you can legally own, or purchase them.
If you live in the state that they were produced in, or buy from someone locally there are no permits needed, but for interstate shipping, you need a permit (I dont recall the exact one, but I have the application for it here somewhere)

Firebelly Boas may be up on that list as well. I know they are an extreamly rare island locality.
