Dick on Aruba Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · About my back yard... This is another "quick and dirty" flash shot. This very young Boa was crawling around in my back yard scaring the s..t out of my spouse. Amazing to discover that boa's grow first in length before they grow in thickness. Neighbors and I had to eliminate all boa's we could find in the neighborhood because they're non-native to Aruba and have NO natural enemies here. They did bring our fauna out of balance in a very short period of time. Jul 08, 2009 at 12:11 AM

WetFootWes Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #4 · About my back yard... Interesting shot Dick. The same thing is happening in FLorida, plus they have a problem with monitor lizards as well. The area I frequent on every visit contacted several "professional trappers" to attempt to reduce the populations as much as possible. Then they got their proposals that started at $250/day with no guarantee of success. The high price was because they would not be allowed to use firearms in the area. I was going to volunteer and use a blowgun, but they turned me down with no comment. Wes Jul 08, 2009 at 12:39 AM

anthony whitmo Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · About my back yard... I think Boa steaks on the BBQ are in order do they taste any good? Kill away Dick those dang things grow fast and multiply. Jul 08, 2009 at 07:49 AM

Desert Drake Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · About my back yard... Glad to hear that you are taking care of the problem. Some day, you don't need an eighteen footer crawling through the flower bed. Al Jul 08, 2009 at 11:25 AM

David Israel Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #10 · About my back yard... Nice capture Dick. Good job keeping the eye in focus. I can't say that I blame your wife, as women (in general) tend not to be too crazy about snakes. If they are upseting the balance of the ecosystem, with no natural predators, it would seem that you don't have much choice but to take some action to limit the population of this reptile.

Martin Good Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #11 · About my back yard... Would not like to have one like this in my back yard. Nice capture Dick and I presume from your remarks that you probably captured the snake itself later. Martin Jul 08, 2009 at 07:15 PM

Lil Judd Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · About my back yard... Well I know I would not like to have one in my backyard. I'm not fond of snakes. I realize they belong in their native habitat - but that's not my backyard. Neat shot - but please do get rid of it as it will be very destructive to the ecosystem established near you.

I'm not a big fan of snakes Dick but I am OK with them in 'your' backyard The blue markings on this one are intersting, is that normal?? Another cool grab from a passerby in 'your' backyard!

Karl I think the Boa "stain" himself squeezing out of a blue painted something? No, I don't think it's a natural color. Jul 09, 2009 at 12:36 PM
