Tongue movements in the common boa (Constrictor constrictor)
Animal Behaviour, 1972Abstract Tongue movements were studied in Contsrictor constrictor by direct observation and by analysis of motion pictures. Vertical tongue movements consisted of an invariant sequence of protrusion, oscillation up and down, and retraction. Lateral deviation of the tongue occurred only in the company of vertical movements and was correlated with the ...

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.

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.

The Anatomical Record, 1973
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.

Pulmonary defense mechanisms in Boa constrictor
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1981We studied aerosol deposition and the response to inhaled particles and irritants in lungs of Boa constrictor. Snakes which breathed submicrometric particles radiolabeled with 99mTc retained 41.4 +/- 9.9% of the aerosol in the trachea, 42.5 +/- 8.8% in the anterior faveolar regions, and 8.7 +/- 4.1% in the posterior saccular regions of the lungs.

1971
The karyotypes shown here came from short term blood cultures. Both male and female have similar karyotypes. Sex chromosome heteromorphism was not found in this species. However, tentatively the macrochromosomes of the 4th pair were sorted as the sex chromosomes, by comparison to other species where they are dimorphic in the female.

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.

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.

Purification and properties of fructose diphosphate aldolase from Boa constrictor constrictors
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1966Abstract Fructose diphosphate aldolase from the muscles of Boa constrictor constrictors has been purified and obtained in the crystalline form. The substrate specificity and catalytic activity are similar to those of rabbit muscle aldolase, although there are significant differences in amino acid composition. The enzyme shows a pronounced change in
