Hola a todos
Hibrido entre BOA ARCOIRIS x ANACONDA AMARILLA.
Según parece este hibrido fue criado con exito por un criador de Arcoiris hará ya unos 10 años.
Os dejo un texto del original en el que explica un poco la historia.
Un saludo
I do not know if BRBs have been crossed to Yellow Anacondas or not. I do know that at the Orlando Expo about 10 years ago there was someone selling Colombian Rainbow Boas and whimsically calling them Rainacondas. Many people did not realize that it was a joke and there were people talking about "Rainacondas" for years afterwards. The different subspecies of Rainbow Boas do naturally intergrade with the other subspecies. The nominant subspecies the Brazilian Rainbow seems most similar to the Peruvian gaigei and Isla Marajo barbouri (possibly xerophilus and hygropholus also) and so intergrades of these subspecies are probably common and difficult to identify. The Colombian maurus subspecies is very different and intergrades of cenchria cernchria and cenchria maurus seem to result in some of the very different looking Rainbow Boas that show up in Guyana and Venezueala. However, the unnamed Guyanan spubspecies that is often imported seems to be a seperate subspecies that is different than either cenchria cenchria or cenchria maurus or the unidentified snakes. The reclassification of the Rainbow Boas making cenchria, gaigei and barbouri all the same subspecies and maurus a totally seperate species may be the right move in light of all this though the question of the Guyanan subspecies and the variable looking unidentifiable specimens seem to have not been adrdressed in the reclassification. I have not seen any snakes that were crosses of Rainbow Boas with other species. It is probably possible to cross them but not so easily that it could become a common practice.
