Boidae

Rainbow Boa The rainbow boa (Epicrates cenchria ) is a boa species endemic to Central and South America. A semi-arboreal species (not only do they climb in the wild but also proven in captivity), it is known for its attractive iridescent/holographic sheen caused by structural coloration. Five subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.[3] Sand Boa The Erycinae , also known as the Old World sand boas ,[1] are a subfamily of nonvenomous snakes in the family Boidae. Species of the subfamily Erycinae are found in Europe, Asia Minor, Africa, Arabia, central and southwestern Asia, India, Sri Lanka, and western North America. Four genera comprising 18 species are currently recognized as being valid.[1] Amazon Tree Boa Corallus hortulana , previously known as Corallus hortulanus, and commonly known as the Amazon tree boa , common tree boa ,[3] garden tree boa ,[4] and macabrel , is a boa species found in South America. Previously, there were two recognized subspecies, Corallus hortulanus hortulanus, and Corallus hortulanus cooki , though the species has undergone taxonomic revision and has been broken up into several species.[5] It is primarily nocturnal and arboreal, though it has been observed feeding and reproducing on the ground.[6] Like all boas, it is non-venomous.
