Can we start a desert boas section?

[Alicewave]

Like a Rosy and Gound Boas section? Or is there one and I'm just stupid? It's hard to find a good forum dedicated to these types of snakes which have fairly different needs than other boas. It would be nice to have a separate section for them. Thanks!

Back when this site first started, I too asked for such a forum, but there's not a lot of demand.

[Dom]

If there is a large enough of a demand for the section, IT can be aded although I doubt there is ..

If you want to see this forum open up .. speak ure mind .. lets see how many ppl want it and w can judge from there wether it is worth or not oppening a forum just for these specific boas...

YESSSSS!!!!! There are not too many resources on Kenyan Sand Boas and a forum on these and other similar snakes would be awesome!

Givr!

Erycine forum!! Come on guys, and you can make a mod to boot! <laugh> Jeff said he would if a rosy/sandie forum was created!

[Linds]

Aw no erycine forum! Where will all the rosies go!! :eek: I'm all for a sandboa/rosy forum... hehehe... not that that isn't a given ;)

[derek]

yah a rosy boa forum would be sweeet!!!! : )

[sSNAKESs.com]

what is the scientific name???

[sSNAKESs.com]

for all sand boas.. not just rosies..

[Linds]

Rosies and sandboas are a different classification, hence they share different latin names. Sandboas are Erycine, Rosies are Lichanura...

[Katt]

The whole group are called Erycines Linds, including the Calabria, and the rubber boas. The genus for sandies is Eyrx not Erycine.

[Katt]

Rather Eryx

[Aaron_S]

This would be a great forum to have,I would like to see one.

[sSNAKESs.com]

ok well there isnt enough demand for 2 differant ones.. so you guys think of a name for the forum that classify's all of them and i will implement the forum.

[Linds]

Really? I was under a different impression. I didn't think that all the desert boas were grouped together, and that only the sand boa were erycines, and rosies were a whole different class.........

Learn something new every day :)

[Katt]

Nope, the whole shebang are Erycines! I think we should have the Erycines forum and I should be a mod for it! <laugh>

[sSNAKESs.com]

Katt, Linds.. I will make the forum tommorow... and Sorry Katt we no longer have mods for seperate forums anymore.. just a few who moderate the whole board... If we are recruiting again we will post it up so people can apply. :)

[TonyL]

That is great news Jeff.

I think rosies (and sandboas) are wonderful snakes and hopefully this forum will help others discover that too.

Right Linds? :-D

[Katt]

Great Jeff!!

I'm just teasing about modness. At least we got a forum!!

[Linds]

:D

[Alicewave]

yay!!! Thanks for the support guys! I certainly think it's fine to group all the desert species together. Most other sites do. I just have noticed that several members keep these snakes and I and very new at Rosy's and will definitely have questions and I was not sure where to put them. Thanks so much Jeff!

Why not just a "pocket boa" forum ....For the small boas.. including: candoia, and all the desert boas, and small ground boas....It's just a suggestion, but i think it would be pretty cool!
