    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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.

just wondering if there is any preservation of the rare boa species in the wild under way
 
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.
