Boa constrictor Linnaeus, 1758

Records. Table 2.

The Common Boa is the only Boa species. We distinguished this species by its size (TL = 143.7 cm ± 23.1; n

= 6), shape, and color patterns. Specimens had large and heavy bodies, and pelvic spurs on each side of the cloacal aperture. The dorsal background was generally yellowish brown with dark bands, which were more colorful on the short tail. The triangular head had 3 distinctive dark stripes, 1 in the middle of the head from the snout to the back, and 2 larger stripes behind the eyes ( Fig. 7). We collected 2 specimens (ZUFMS-REP02717, REP02722).
