#BOA CONSTRICTOR IMPERATOR VOUCHER SKIN#
They also have a distinctive color pattern on their skin with various shapes. The 7-factor Australian Bird and Mammal Model was used for these assessments.Boa constrictors have thick, strong, and muscular bodies that can easily crush their prey. These categories incorporate risk of establishing populations in the wild, risk of causing public harm, and risk of becoming a pest (eg causing agricultural damage, competing with native fauna, etc). Mammals and birds were assessed for the pest risk they pose if introduced to Australia, by calculating Vertebrate Pests Committee (VPC) Threat Categories.

These Risk Assessment models have been further explored by Western Australia Department of Agriculture & Food (DAFWA) to confirm that they reasonably predict public safety, establishment and pest risks across a full range of exotic species and risk levels. Summary: Models for assessing the risk that exotic vertebrates could establish in Australia have been developed for mammals, birds (Bomford 2003 Bomford 2006, 2008), reptiles and amphibians (Bomford 2006, 2008 Bomford et al.

Principal source: The Reptile Database, 2007. In addition, island males have considerably longer tails than those of the mainland boas (Boback, 2005 Quick et al, 2005). Island boas tend to have longer, more narrow heads occupying large eyes. They differ in appearance depending on whether they live on mainland or island. This subspecies also includes a number of isolated dwarf populations which are also being exploited by the pet trade. Some individuals have prominent dark markings on the tail. Naturally, they show a characteristic pattern of some 30 brown or reddish dorsal patches or \"saddles\" on a lighter background, although the pet industry have developed a variety of \"morphs\" with a number of different colorations and patterns, including albinos. Boa constrictor imperator is ranked as one of the largest species of snake in the world due to its maximum growth potential being between 4 and 5 meters in length. Adult females are larger than adult males. While neonates range from 18-22 inches long, adult Boa may measure more than 30 feet.
