I have to do a science fair project at my school and it has to do with Biology so i decided that it'd be awsome if i did something with my red tatiled boa or my water dragons. Does anyone have any cool ideas that i could do???

Maybe you could focus on genetics?

You could talk not just about the anatomy, but also about the function and mechanism of constriction, and how they manage to fit such large prey in their jaws. If possible, you could take your boa to the fair, in a rubbermade. This is of course depending on the rules at the school, and you would have to get it approved, but it would really add a cool aspect to your project.

I had a student in grade 8 last year present a paper on the differences between BCI and BCC.

Hi sssnake_LOVER

Here is a link to some pictures on boa anatomy. These pictures are of a real boa that died so if you have a week stomach you may not want to look at them. If you want to use them for your science fair project you are more them welcome to use them.
