umum mendiami tumpukan sabut kelapa di
Pulau Karkar : boa tanah New Guinea , disebut 'ular mengantuk/sleepy snake '
di PNG dan
'viper boa' dalam
perdagangan reptil. Ini boas Pasifik yang
berkembang di wilayah Samoa-Fiji dan terpancar jauh hingga Maluku di bagian timur Indonesia.
Meskipun ofensif ,
boa tanah sesekali akan menyerang dan memberikan gigitan menyakitkan. mudah untuk
membedakan antara jantan dan betina di Pulau Karkar karena betina tidak
memiliki taji cloacal meskipun karakteristik ini
tidak selalu seragam di berbagai
spesies.
Catatan taksonomi:
Dua subspesies diakui
sebagai berikut.
Bismarck ground boa (C.aspera aspera) dari New Britain dan New Ireland, dan boa tanah New Guinea (C.aspera schmidti) dari New Guinea (Papua Barat dan Papua Nugini) dan pulau termasuk Karkar.
Selain itu, jenis New Irlandia remaja dibandingkan dengan beberapa remaja specimen Pulau Karkar, lebih ramping , memiliki ekor panjang, punggung bukit vertebral mengangkat dan mata berwarna lebih terang,.

The
"viper boa" is a moniker for the New Guinea ground boa
The
commonest snake inhabiting coconut husk piles on Karkar Island is the New
Guinea ground boa, a sedentary, stout-bodied snake, which is called ‘sleepy
snake’ in PNG and ‘viper boa’ in the reptile trade. This is the westernmost and
probably the most advanced of the of the Pacific boas which evolved in
Samoa-Fiji region and radiated westwards as far as the Moluccan islands of
eastern Indonesia. Although inoffensive and inclined to adopt a ‘balling’
position when disturbed, the occasional large ground boa will strike and
deliver a painful bite. It was easy to differentiate between males and females
on Karkar Island because females lack cloacal spurs although this
characteristic is not necessarily uniform across the range of the species.
Taxonomic
note: Two subspecies may be recognized as follows.
Bismarck
ground boa (C.aspera aspera) from New Britain and New Ireland, and New Guinea
ground boa (C.aspera schmidti) from New Guinea (West Papua and Papua New
Guinea) and its continental islands including Karkar. The scale counts defining
the two subspecies are listed in the table below.
In
addition, a single New Ireland juvenile compared with several juvenile Karkar
Island specimens, was found to be of more slender build, have a longer tail, a
raised vertebral ridge and lighter coloured eyes but all those characters are
relative and the sample was small.
