Notes
I saw the tail end of this boa in a pile of rock, I reached in to pull it out, and realized it was dead. There were maggots eating the snake from the inside out. There was also signs of trauma to the head, perhaps the snake was killed by a predator and left uneaten?
We could not determine the sex, as the maggots had eaten the lower underside of the snake.
