Talk:Boa constrictor

message: Thanks to whoever was working from IP 70.109.20.219 for renaming this article to "Boa constrictor"  - this is the name almost everyone uses for this snake and the other "pet-trade" name always troubled me. Good work! John Hill 23:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Renaming of the article to Boa Constrictor rather than Red-tailed Boa

message: This article seems to be written entirely from the perspective of snake keepers (with its reference to zoos and snakes being "imported", presumably to the United States). Can anyone supply the straight zoological information about this snake (size, distribution, behaviour, endangered status, etc.)? Myopic Bookworm (talk) 10:35, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That information is too general for this article. See Boidae#Feeding. --Jwinius (talk) 13:57, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Where's natural history? 

message: Hi, I am going to be improving this article, as I feel that it is missing a lot of information on Boa constrictor.  I will be increasing the information on description, behaviours, reproduction, habitat, and a few other bits.  I hope that it is to everybody's standards.  --XPS420 (talk) 14:35, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Improvements to the article

message: Hi, I was wondering if this page can be reassessed.  As it has been massively improved since the last assessment.  Thanks.  XPS420 (talk) 13:46, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Assessment

message: Two sentences in the "Coloring" section (which also don't seem to belong there) seem to contradict each other, and neither are cited:
Boa constrictors also have two functional lungs, a smaller (non-functional) left and enlarged (functional) right lung to better fit their elongated shape, unlike many colubrid snakes which have completely lost the left lung.
Should they both be removed? Joshf (talk) 18:24, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Contradiction

message: Hope you like the video I've added to the diet/feeding section 
It's my own boa, who is currently about 7ft long, and still growing.  Pesky (talk …stalk!) 14:50, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: "Boa Imperator" is no longer recognized as a subspecies of Boa Constrictor, as such, there should probably be significantly less mention of it on this page. I have been editing out the parts that I've seen that clearly mislabel the species, but there is a lot of work to be done. If you notice an incorrect naming (like B. c. Imperator) please take it down. There seem to be several images of what appear to be Central and South American boa imperator species, these should be replaced by images of Boa Constrictor or its subspecies.  — Mstearnsa 20:34, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
