[SOLD!!] 0.1 CB Costa Rican Rainbow Boa (Epicrates maurus)

Here is something that you don't see every day: Epicrates maurus from Costa Rica. This female was captive-bred from parents that stem from the town of Quepos in the Puntarenas Province of Costa Rica (near the famous Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio). She is feeding on thawed fuzzy and small hopper mice right off the hemostats.

$150 + shipping

PS: She is actually in shed in the picture, yet look at that iridescence!

SOLD!!

Any possibility of males in the future?

There were multiple specimens from this litter floating around a couple of years ago, so it is possible that individuals might become available again over time.

Seems similar to a Generally available Columbian Rainbow minus the stated region of origin. Even the specified scientific name is the same. Any notable differences?

This is a locality animal from Quepos. The scientific name is the same because it is the same species, but this particular lineage has actual locality data associated with it, unlike the vast majority of the E. maurus that are usually found in the trade. As far as notable differences are concerned, Costa Rican E. maurus have dark (sometimes fused) rings or saddle-shaped marks as juveniles and are uniform in color as adults (as opposed to the light-centered dorsal spots that are found in specimens in parts of northern Argentina and western Equador, for instance).

Very interesting. Thank You
