Description
Corallus hortulanus is a slender, laterally compressed species growing to lengths of 4-6ft. Like all members of this genus the Amazon tree boa possesses a strongly prehensile tail.
This is undoubtedly one of the most variable snake species in the world in terms of color 
and pattern. No other boid displays the diversity of appearance that is seen in C. hortulanus. Individuals can range can be any shade of yellow, orange, brown, gray, or red. The flanks and dorsal surface is generally patterned with darker rhomboid shaped markings though some individuals can be nearly patternless. This limitless variability can even occur within a single litter.

Projects
I am currently working with a group of multi generation c.b. animals. The group consists of yellow and orange individuals.
Latest News
My Co-Author and I are excited to announce the release of the greatly expanded second edition of The Complete Carpet Python.
After quite a bit of work, I have now made most of my lineage records from 2022 available on this website. Lineages are recorded in the form of family trees' for each clutch produced in a given year. This is without a doubt the largest such repository of lineage information on carpet pythons online and it is my hope that this effort will raise the bar for record keeping within this species group. Have a look and tell me what you think.
