What kind of snake?

[Alex]

There are no boas in southeast asia. The rainbow boa you refer to is 
of the genus epicrates, and occurs in brazil, columbia, and argentina.
Boas are a different subfamily, and are strictly new world phenomena. 
Pythons are old world phenomena with one exception, the calabar 
burrowing python of mexico. Sorry about the L.O.O.N - iness, just 
wanted to clarify the point. I have no problem with a burmese python 
from burma in the snake scne, though. I am a herpetologist, and was 
going to point out that snakes have no eyelids, too :)
Please don't take anyhting personally, or too seriously, it's just 
something that I care about immensel
