rianbow boa

The reason I chose to blog about this is because I say one today.It's scientific name is epicrates cenchira.They live in southern and central America. They are also called slender boas. They are often in the pet trade. they need  heat and humidity. The reason it is  called a rainbow boa is because if you look at it's scales they look like they have rainbows on them. Here is a link. And here  are  photos.  If you look in the subspecies It will say many different things.  each subspecies  is a different animal. The taxon author is who found out about it.
