New Dwarf Dropped

[Bogertophis]

It's not unusual for a boa or a python. It's only unusual for a snake, because 80 percent of snakes are colubrids, which lack them. I suspect the writer of this article didn't know much about snake taxonomy, and didn't have time to learn it before his/her deadline.

Despite keeping some boas & pythons, I've always been way more into colubrids & "others" so I guess that's why I fell for their idea that this was something more exceptional than it apparently is- & I must admit, snake taxonomy has never been my focus- I leave that to others.
