Hemoglobins of Boa constrictor amarali
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1976Abstract 1. 1. Hemoglobin polymorphism has been demonstrated in populations of Boa constrictor amarali in South America (Schwantes, 1972). The oxygen-binding properties of the two major hemoglobin phenotypes, denoted Boa Hb SS and Boa Hb SF, show only minor functional differences. 2. 2.

Renal Styphlodoriasis in a Boa Constrictor
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1977SUMMARY Renal styphlodoriasis was diagnosed in a 2½-year-old male boa constrictor (Constrictor constrictor). The snake had been anorexic for 6 months prior to its death. Necropsy revealed numerous hard, white foci of mineralization in the kidneys.

Undifferentiated Carcinoma in the Ovary of a Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor ortoni)
The Journal of Zoo Animal Medicine, 1988A long-term captive Peruvian red-tail boa constrictor (Boa constrictor ortoni) exhibited anorexia and weight loss prior to sudden death. An undifferentiated carcinoma with characteristics of a granulosa cell tumor was identified. Metastasis was manifested as nodules embedded in par aovar?an mesentery and the surface of the liver.

AbstractEpidermal melanocytes are easily identifiable in the skin of the Boa Constrictor throughout the whole skin cycle. Intensity of the dopa reaction, however, varies. It is at its peak just before the skin enters its resting phase when the melanization of the beta layer of the epidermis is complete. There is no pigment transfer when those layers of

Journal of Ultrastructure Research, 1967
The epithelium of the boa constrictor is shown to have five ultrastructurally distinct layers. These are a basal layer of relatively undifferentiated germinal cells and intermingled melanocytes; a differentiating layer of spinous cells, similar to mammalian spinous cells and containing specialized clear cells which may be in the process of maturation ...

Cytoarchitecture of nucleus sphericus in the common boa, Constrictor constrictor
Journal of Comparative Neurology, 1973AbstractThe normal anatomy of nucleus sphericus in the common boa (Constrictor constrictor) is described here on the basis of routine light microscopic and Golgi material. Nucleus sphericus is a cup‐shaped aggregation of cells lying in the forebrain posterior to the anterior commissure and consisting of three concentric layers.

AbstractThis study gives a quantitative description of hypoglossal neurons in the common boa, Constrictor constrictor. In this animal the hypoglossal nuclei are spatially distinct from the ventral horns and do not contain subnuclei. They contain a mean ± S.D. of 942 ± 162 neurons, many of which have double nucleoli.

Abstract A 22-year-old red-tailed boa constrictor, Boa constrictor constrictor, was evaluated for neurologic abnormalities including cervical weakness and right-sided optical and thermal blindness. Previous diagnostic testing of this individual had ruled out inclusion body disease of boids as a cause of the neurologic signs.

Captive Husbandry and Breeding of Boa Constrictors, Boa constrictor spp
Journal of Herpetological Medicine and Surgery, 2001ABSTRACT Since boa constrictors, Boa constrictor spp, have been and continue to be a popular part of herpetoculture it is important for reptile veterinarians to be familiar with their captive husbandry. Appropriate care is outlined in this paper. Breeding techniques are also suggested for those who are interested in captive propagation.
