    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....

So, I know that B. c. imperator has been elevated to species status. Does anyone know what happened with all the other subspecies? Does the newly created species, Boa imperator, have any subspecies of its own? I haven't been able to find this info on the web, or any kind of chart of updated taxonomy. I guess I don't really know where to look.

I also don't really understand current rosy boa taxonomy. Does anyone know of a source for a range map that shows what species/subspecies live where? I keep and breed several localities, and while I know what subspecies they USED to be considered, I want to be able to accurately describe their taxonomy for future customers. Specifically, I keep animals formerly considered L. t. gracia and L. t. roseofusca.

Thanks so much.
