Boas lay eggs...it's true
Hi everyone, untill yesterday I thought there was only one "boa" that layed eggs and that is the round island boa. Thanks to Roy Stockwell, I was informed that in the last two years they dicovered two sand boas that also layed eggs.
Is this news to anyone else?
Is there any info about the two species?

Was able to find some info about this when I asked on another forum:
"the Mueller's or West African, Eryx muelleri, and the Arabian, Eryx jayakari. This was discovered quite recently so it's not mentioned in many books. "
Here's some more info:

It is cool but I find it weird. I would always use the live bearing characteristic to seperate boas and pythons. I will still use that as a way to seperate the two but in the back of my mind I'll know that there are egg laying boas.

Why exactly are those sand boas instead of sand pythons?

Good question BoaBoi we have the GTP and ETP The Snakes look rather similare but there are real differences I am guessing that there is Genetic reasons that they remain boas and are not renamed to fit the Python criteria. Maby some one can give us some insight to the reasons.
