Are there boa constrictors on Aruba?

Answer 1

Yes, there are boa constrictors on Aruba. The first boa constrictor was noted in April 1999. Before 1999, boa constrictors were found on some Caribbean islands. Historically they never have been found on any of the ABC Islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao.

Now they're found all over the island. Their undesirable presence is noted especially in the south and southeast. They're an unlikeable threat to the Aruban cottontail [Sylvilagus floridanus nigronuchalis] population.
