@eaglereptiles That first link goes to someone’s ball breeding thread???
Assuming you were trying to redirect me to the top of this thread then…
Speaking only from my, self-acknowledged, limited boa knowledge, shooting from the hip
.

I would say the following would fall into “Tree Boa”
- Emerald (C. caninus)
- Northern Amazon (C. hortulana)
- Amazon Basin (Corallus batesii)
- Annulated (C. annulatus)
- Grenadian (C. grenadensis)
- Central American (C. ruschenbergerii)
(And looking at that list, maybe a more appropriate group name would be ‘Central/South American Tree Boa’)
Then I would have the ‘Madagascar Boa’ group that would cover both Acrantophis and both Sanzinia
And then the ‘Candoia’ group for C. aspera, bibroni, carinata, paulsoni, and superciliosa and the various subspecies therein
Lastly, Chilabothrus, Ungaliophis, and any other odds and ends genera/species would fall into the ‘Other’ group
That would be my breakdown as far as the Market is concerned.
For Morphpedia I would concur with @vcrutchfield’s recommendation for a ‘Caribbean Boa’ group that would hold the Chilabothrus
And while I have a very personal love of Ungaliophis (and a HUGE desire to work with them) I am not sure there is enough available on them to warrant a category exclusively to them, so I think they should go with the rest of the “misfits” in the ‘Other’ category
