Sonoran Desert Boa constrictor imperator

We can check wheather sites with historical data, charts, even export as CSV file from area where snakes have been found.
Another thing what somebody could do with own Boa Sigma/Sonora is experiment. Keep Boa for one year in desert condition because Sonora Desert is desert. Sand, rocks and no water.... Please don't do that. :)
Or we could try to find somebody who is living there and just ask what is the weather, when was rain last time.... Spanish is not a problem for G..e Tr..r :)
If there is no data, we can find - process - make usable for us and share.
My data for now: room humidity 50%, no spray, terra H +/- 50% = shedding problems. It has happen twice (2 snakes).
New conditions: room humidity ~50%, SPRAY few days after milky eyes, terra H ~75% = shedding in one piece with previous broken parts.
Conclusion: H 50% is not enough.

AmadosBoas, maybe I'm missing the point with your link but that's Boa sigma (Mexican west coast boa constrictor).
The Sonoran Desert Boa is a Boa imperator.
They're so different they should be considered two different species according to some taxonomy studies.

Jo, leta upp någon som bor I sonora som berättar om vädret där är ju en kul idé.

Annars om man vill veta väder och klimat för en plats kan man nuförtiden använda internet, finns kopiösa mängder med data tillgängligt för alla.

Detsamma gäller både flora och tillgång på vatten. Finns jättemycket information om sånt också.

Nej, det finns inga skogar i sonora. Nej, det finns inga vattendrag eller sjöar där. Luftfuktigheten är mellan 10 och 40% med enstaka tillfälliga toppar upp emot 50% efter regn. Detta är faktum, tillhör inget i diskussionen att ifrågasätta det.

Sonoran Desert Boa är nog rätt felaktigt populärnamn på dom.  Sonora Mexiko Boa passar nog bättre.

Sonora är stort område med flera olika klimat. Så skog finns det även där

Jag kan tänka mig att namnet syftar mer på landområdet och inte specifikt biomet öken.
Men visst ett populärnamnbyte vore ju nåt, fast då skulle jag nog gärna kalla de Corùa Boa, för att knyta an till Sonoras ursprungsbefolkningar och deras positiva band till dessa ormar.

Imori: La Corùa sounds great for me :) Imperator - yes. Sigma I found on website (I don't remember address) there was a little information about genetic differences and open discussion if Sigma should be added to taxonomy. I would like to see picture from scientist and clear information - this one is Imperator because of ..... and that one is Sigma because of ....... . No more guessing. Of course life is not so simple. :) I wonder how this "desert" came to the name. Sonoran Boa was years and people started to add Sonoran Desert Boa. Hmmm.... 

Westman: Nice - IMG? ;) 

Tropfrog: Once again. Try to keep Imperator, Sigma, Occidentalis, .... in 10 to 40% of Humidity and sometimes 50% after rain and please present your result. I totally agree with you about sand and rocks and high temperature in the most of that area but Sonora is not only Sonora Desert.

I have never comented on the care requirement of the snake and will never do. I have no intention whatsoever to keep this snake or any other snake at the moment.

My comment was purelly a reaction on a totally false statement that there are forrests, lakes, rivers and high humidity in the sonoran desert. That is totally wrong and would have been wrong no matter what desert in the topic.

If the snake is not from the desert  it makes totally sense to me not to keep it in desert like environment.

Tropfrog: In that case my apologies. We are clear. Desert is desert but Sonora area is big enough for climate variations suitable for boas. :)

Amado, I am keeping my Sonoran under 50% relative humidity and she's doing great. They might not live in a sandy desert but they don't live in a rainforest either.
Contrary to, say the Nicaraguan boa imperator, living in lush tropical forests, the Sonoran imperators' biome, thorn scrub, is still dry long periods of the year.
