Summer 2001

     My quest for the summer 2001 was to catch a rubber boa.  Rubber Boas are rare and hard to find in the northwest so I looked along time in a lot of different habitats and finally near the end of the summer I found it.  The subspecies I caught was the Rocky Mountain Rubber Boa.  The Rubber Boa is found further north than any other Boa species and will almost never bite.
