Boas are among the most primitive of existing snakes. They have visible claws near the base of the tail, which some scientists believe are actually remnants of hind legs. In the males, not only are the claws highly visible, they are used in the seduction of the female.

Chewing on the feet and hind legs is a classic sign of allergies in dogs, much like itchy eyes and a runny nose in humans. Dogs have the same allergy-sensitive cells people have in their eyes and nose, but they are located in dogs' skin and ears. Therefore, dogs with allergies show signs of itchy feet, itchy skin, and ear infections. Finding out what your dog is allergic to can sometimes be challenging. Dogs can be allergic to all kinds of things in their environments or diets. See similar questions...

A supernova remnant (usually abbreviated to SNR) is the remains of the matter that is exploded away from a star when it goes supernovae. This ejection of matter is much more violent than occurs in the planetary nebula that mark the end of a low mass star, giving expansion speeds of 1000-10,000 km s-1. See similar questions...

Feeding Rosy Boas can present problems for those less experienced with the species. The reason is that their digestive system is a bit more delicate than other snakes and their jaw anatomy does not allow them to swallow large prey. Therefore, it is important to feed these snakes smaller rodents than for other species. A rule of thumb is to feed the snake meals that will not leave a large bulge in their stomach area.

A common problem with Rosy Boas is regurgitation even if the boa is otherwise healthy. Common causes are overheating, underheating, improper temperature gradients, high relative humidity, water intake prior to or just after feeding, stress related to handling after feeding, and housing too many boas in one cage. These boas also regurgitate as a symptom of illness including infection by bacteria, viruses, and parasites or metabolic disturbances, tumors, and neurological disorders. See similar questions...

The answer here is a cautious "yes." We have successfully housed more than one boa together and have even had productive breeding occur. Rosy Boas are not cannibalistic by nature. They are thought to be "loners" in nature for the most part, although some think they may congregate in small numbers to brumate. We have found on occasion that a boa becomes stressed when too crowded, begins to feed poorly or regurgitate, then does much better when housed alone. See similar questions...
