No this is not some new island boa phase or morph it is actually a sad thing. Wondering if anyone else say this on discovery? I just watched a show I guess about 2 weeks ago.

Here is the deal right now there are thousands of boas (BCI) on Cancun island (yes the vacation meca) they mostly stay inland in the jungle. There are many more then the island can support in fact at night now there are no "jungle sounds" because they have eaten everything, bids, rodents, etc. So how did they get there? They are not native to the island, best guess is in 1971 a movie was filmed there with some boas in about a 15 second shot. Apparently the propmaster released 6 boas and with no natural preditors on the island they went nuts.

Now the island is literaly in ruin, with many small animals completely gone or near gone and chicken coops are being raided like mad by the hungry boas. The Mexico Govenrment does not know what to do and does not want to kill the snakes.

My thought why not put a bounty on live caught boas I bet they would be hunted out in a few months and I am sure breeders would love to get their hands on some new stock from this uniqe group.

Anyway this is a clear indication of why no reptile should be released except where it orginally came from. All this for 15 seconds of footage in a "B" movie,
