Chilabothrus striatus, the Hispaniolan boa, is a species of snake in the family Boidae. The species is endemic to Hispaniola (split between Haiti and the Dominican Republic). The species is regularly found in the international pet trade. Subspecies Three subspecies are recognized: Chilabothrus striatus exagistus – Tiburon Peninsula boa Chilabothrus striatus striatus – Hispaniolan or Dominican red mountain boa Chilabothrus striatus warreni – Tortuga Island boa Nota bene: A trinomial authority in parentheses indicates that the subspecies was originally described in a genus other than Chilabothrus. Etymology The subspecific name warreni is in honor of C. Rhea Warren, who collected herpetological specimens on Île de la Tortue. References Further reading Boulenger GA (1893).
