Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Who's here and what do you keep?

I really enjoy this forum and in the interest of preserving it, I think it might be prudent for the regular visitors here to get together and make every effort to take it to the next level.
I think the first step in doing this would be to find out who is here and what boas we keep.
I'll start it off:
I've been keeping boas for about 10 years now. Although I do work with other species as well, it has always been the boas that fascinate me. Although my residents vary from year to year, here is the primary list:
The locality kids:
Argentines
Bolivian Amarali
Corn Island Boas
Hog Island Boas
Hondurans
Western Venezuelan Boas
The Common and Morph kids:
Albino Boas (VPI Bloodline)
Anerythristic Boas (Including Striped Anerythristics)
Blacktails (My own bloodline)
Common Boas - Colombians (numerous color and pattern morphs)
Hypos
and Pip (my project for a true dwarf Colombian Boa)
Ok - what do the rest of you have?
Thanks,
|

Though I have staked my claim in the Python forum, I enjoy this one as well.
I keep dumerils boas, Hog Island boas, albino and hypomelanistic BCI.
Staying in the Boa family, but stepping out of the Boa genus, I also keep ATBs, ETBs, and yellow anacondas.
(I put the dumeril's in the first group, because I have recently seen them listed as Boa dumerili vs the previous Acrantophis dumerili)

Did you see any kind of a time line on the listing? cause I thought it was the other way around.

you know, I thought it was weird, they've been Acrantophis for as long as I've dealt with them in any capacity. I'll have to go back and check, but I think one of the places I saw it was the CITES site. (I'll get back to you)

Thing is, according to that site this was determined in 44' as in 1844! I mean I know I have a hard time keeping up with all the changes in taxonomy, especially the last 10 years or so, but 150 years! Man am I behind. LOL

I have noticed that on many published stock/pricelists, they are showing up as both Boa and Acrantophis (not on the same list of course). Boa is easier to spell, so maybe I should stick with that one until we know for sure, lol.
