1 Preliminary data on movements and macrohabitat use of the invasive snake (Boa constrictor) in Puerto Rico Maraliz Vega-Ross Alberto R. Puente-Rolón, PhD Fernando Bird-Picó, PhD
2 Family: Boidae 9 subspecies Sexual dimorphism Grow up to 13 feet Sexual maturity: 1.5 m Neonates: (Reed & Rodda 2009) Alberto R. Puente-Rolón
3 Neotropics: South-western Mexico Central America South America Adjacent Islands
4 Cozumel Aruba Puerto Rico Florida
5 Animals, plants or other organisms introduced by man into places out of their natural range of distribution, where they become established and disperse, generating a negative impact on the local ecosystem and species. (Invasive Species Specialist Group) Alberto R. Puente-Rolón
6 Published data suggests that the population of the B. constrictor in the island of Puerto Rico have genetics of individuals used in zoos, captivity or used for breeding (Reynolds et.al 2013). Alberto R. Puente-Rolón
