Boas are a diverse group of both New and Old World snakes. Adult specimens of certain sand boa species attain a maximum size of only two to three feet, while the green anaconda may exceed thirty feet in length. For decades, humans have maintained boas in captivity. Recreating a suitable environment in which various boa species can thrive and even reproduce has always been a challenge for the herpetoculturist. Captive Husbandry and Propagation of the Boa Constrictors and Related Boas addresses in detail all major captive care considerations. Comprehensive chapters on heating devices and their application to herpetoculture, designing a herp room, and species accounts will be extremely beneficial for anyone maintaining reptiles or amphibians in captivity.
