Captive husbandry and reproduction of the Madagascan tree boaSanzinia madagascariensis (Dumeril & Bibron, 1844)

摘要

SANZINIA madagascariensis is one of the most spectacular of all species from the Boidae. Its distinguishing features include a large off-set head and colour ranging from dark to light green with large rhomboid markings that continue down the body. In some individuals these markings are heavily bordered with white (Henkel & Schmidt, 2000). Neonates are a reddish-brown for the first few months of life (Henkel & Schmidt. 2000).
