Boa imperator "longicauda"
Even though these are probably not a true subspecies of Boa imperator (following the recent reclassification into B. constrictor and B. imperator), the longtail boas from the Tumbes region of northern Peru are absolutely gorgeous and fascinating animals.
I was trigger happy with the camera today, so I figured I would share some recent shots of the longtail boas from my collection.
