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.

Boa Conservation
Does anybody know of any captive breeding programs in which endangered Boas such as the Island Boas are bred then reintroduced into the wild?

Not sure why you want this. If it's for research then the Jersey Wildlife Preservation Fund has a program for the Round Island Boa. The Round Islands are to the east of Africa way off Madagascar. Just Google Casarea dussumieri or Bolyeria multocarinata.
If you're looking to release your boas into the wild then I don't know of any programs for that.

Acouple of Zoo's in Costa Rica are working with several different forms of BCI.
Most are already on the market.They do have some "stuff" that has yet to be made public.

I believe any consevation efforts would only involve protection laws, and enforcement. Seems reptiles are not deserving of the same sort of effort we put into the Bald Eagles, or California Condors, or the Bison.
It would be nice to have such an effort started though. Of course, what's to stop people from collecting them AGAIN, and depleting the new population these efforts would create? Laws would have to be made as well.
Good thought though IMO.
