That snake was probably not off a ship, but was a big Bimini Boa which is what I think you had on Long Island.<br />Danny Thought this in an e-mail to me:<br />The snake Doug is holding looks like what we call a "Bimini Boa". I've only seen a couple. A friend of mine in South Florida had one growing up. I believe they are pretty rare.

I found this Fact Sheet from the High Commission http://www.bahamashclondon.net/uploads/Fact_Sheet_on_Fauna.pdf . It confirms there are a few endemic snakes including the pygmy boa and the Bahamian boa.<br /><br />This link lists a few more snake species (but I can't confirm they are actual different species or just "thought to be" separate species. Check out the photo of what they call a Bimini boa, looks real close to the one we caught.<br /><br />This site states there are 3 distinct species of Bahamian boa and 8 sub-species. http://www.bnt.bs/Bahamian-boa-constrictor<br /><br />My conclusion is we found a small Bahamian boa. I saw a much larger specimen of what I believe is the same species eating a red shouldered hawk on Andros' Middle Bight back in the 1980's.Doug Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964780711233647604noreply@blogger.com
