Boa constrictors are indigenous to Central America and South America. These complex snakes have the largest geographic range of any reptile on earth, spanning two continents from the Sonoran Desert in Mexico to Argentina, comprising a range of over 6 million square miles. Their habitats range from lowland desert oases to mountainous rainforests.

Boas in Captivity was written by Vincent Russo to help educate herpetoculturalists and hobbyists about the natural history and captive care of Boa constrictor, including housing, feeding, health issues, breeding, and raising of healthy young boas. The fascinating color morphs and pattern anomalies that occur are presented in text and beautiful photos throughout.
