Shed Skins Wanted for Boa Constrictor Genetics Research!

[hdph]

If anyone with Boa constrictors could donate a section of a recently sloughed skin for my PhD research, I would be very grateful. All I need is a couple of cm2 of sloughed skin, with – if possible – the subspecies it has come from, and the more samples I get the better. I am particularly keen to get samples from captive Hog Island boas. If you can help please send samples in a plastic bag to the address below. I will be happy to keep you up to date on how my research progresses - just include your contact details with the sample.
