    Re: Are all snakes in the family boidae, boids???

    Boas have two subfamilies: Boinae or true boas and Erycinae or sand boas. Pythons are sometimes classified as a subfamily of Boidae, but are frequently listed under their own family, Pythonidae. Sand boas are also frequently listed under their own family, Erycidae.

    This says that sometimes Pythons are listed under Boidae... btu really it's just a sub-family I guess eh?!
    Pythinidae is the real family they are in...

    Thanks, I'm not so confused now.... I think!

    Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

    Why is it called 'after dark' when it really is 'after light'?
