| Boas are a diverse group of both New and Old World snakes. Adult specimens of certain sand boa species attain a maximum size of only two to three feet, while the green anaconda may exceed 30 feet in length. For decades, humans have maintained boas in captivity. Recreating
a suitable environment in which various boa species can thrive and even reproduce has always been a challenge for the herpetoculturist. $ICaptive Husbandry and Propagation of the Boa Constrictors and Related Boas$I contains detailed information specific to boa species and subspecies. All major captive care considerations are addressed allowing boa keepers to provide for, and possibly breed their captives. Comprehensive chapters on heating devices and their application to herpetoculture, and
designing a herp room will be extremely beneficial for everyone maintaining any species of reptiles, as well as the boa keeper. (**Short Blurb) This work contains detailed information specific to boa species and subspecies, addressing all major captive care considerations which allow boa keepers to provide for and possibly breed their captives.
