There are nine recognized subspecies of rainbow boa, what makes you all SOOOO sure that it's a BRAZILIAN rainbow boa? My guess is that it's because YOU think it's the most common, because here in the US, it is.

It doesn't take much effort to just look up species native to Trinidad. All the rainbow boas on Trinidad are currently classified as:

Epicrates cenchria maurus, or the COLOMBIAN rainbow boa, which only makes sense since their range is much more northern compared to BRBs.
Thats right ! we are closer to Venezuela than Guyana, i can swim across to vene. its so close.ussually there are anacondas floating across ,thats what fishermen say.This is 16 inches long and very agressive. but i have a problem !!! HE IS NOT EATING THE LIZARD! I used to feed a coral snake geco's but this guy is not going after it, so i let it go this morning and ill buy a white mice tommorow, i bet he'll be running after it . tomm. will be seven days since he ate the buddgie.Would he Eat, or being wild would he starve himself????
