Boa c. imperator
(Costa Rica)

This is one of our adult breeding males. He fathered babies two times so far. The babies are generally born in March or April, which is rather early in comparison to other boas.

This Costa Rica Boa c. imperator was photographed in January 2002 by our friend Vincent Russo in the serpentarium
of Monteverde, Costa Rica

The animal was caught in the Monteverde cloud
forest in about 4000 ft. altitude near a
farm that had chickens
