Annaconda's are considered to be Boa's.

[Invictus]

Anacondas are of the FAMILY boidae, which includes boas and pythons, but that does not mean that Anacondas are boas. They have their own genus, species, and subspecies.

[Jeff_Favelle]

Oh Invictus, you funny guy. Here's how it works....

Family: Boidae (Boas and Pythons)

Sub-Families: Boinae (Boas) Pythoninae (Pythons)


And YES, Anacondas are in the sub-family Boinae, therefore they are BOAS.

Crap...my mistake. I did a search for their taxonomy, and none of the sites I went to listed Sub-Family. So, I assumed the wrong thing.

I'll kill you later, Favelle. :)

[Jeff_Favelle]

Hip's sub-family is of the crustaceans I believe. I'll have to look it up in my loser dictionary, heh heh. JK mandingo! I can't be mad at someone who's supplying free beer!

I'm dead. Invictus has it out for me. Too bad he wasn't a hot chick. :D
