Habitat
Boa bevelnosed Palau ini
Umumnya
ditemukan di hutan hujan, meskipun kadang ditemukan di
halaman belakang kebun pisang dan talas (akar sayur) di kota-kota, dan dengan
adanya penggundulan Hampir diseluruh pulau,
ini menunjukkan mereka
dapat Beradaptasi dengan baik untuk habitat yang

.
Status
Terdaftar di Appendix II CITES .
Ancaman
MESKIPUN Kemampuan mereka untuk beradaptasi pada habitat yang terganggu, seperti
semua keanekaragaman hayati terestrial Palau, yang Terancam oleh hilangnya
habitat dan fragmentasi, Disebabkan oleh perkembangan Peningkatan, Seperti
pembangunan jalan. Spesies invasif, kebakaran yang tidak terkendali dan menimbulkan
ancaman perburuan terhadap fauna dan
flora.
konservasi
Saat ini tidak ada Upaya khusus untuk melestarikan boa bevelnosed Palau , bagaimanapun, ada
upaya untuk melestarikan keanekaragaman hayati Berlangsung umum dan efisien
mengelola sumber daya alam dari pulau-pulau . Palau Strategi Nasional dan
Rencana Aksi Keanekaragaman Hayati menguraikan langkah-langkah akan membantu
menjaga 'keanekaragaman hayati pulau, Termasuk Membangun
jaringan Kawasan Lindung dan Melindungi pulau-pulau dari dampak negatif dari
spesies invasif .

Palau
bevelnosed boa (Candoia superciliosa)
Description
Kingdom Animalia
Phylum Chordata
Class Reptilia
Order Squamata
Family Boidae
Genus Candoia
The Palau
bevelnosed boa is a slender snake, with a long prehensile tail and a broad, flat snout . Individuals vary
greatly in colour, from lemon yellow to charcoal to bright brick red, and may
be patterned with either dull or brightly contrasting stripes, spots or zigzags
. However, all Palau bevelnosed boas have a distinguishing white spot situated
behind the anus, and characteristic enlarged scales above the eye sockets . Two
subspecies are recognised: Candoia superciliosa superciliosa (northern Belau
bevelnosed boa) and Candoia superciliosa crombiei (Ngeaur bevelnosed boa) .
Until
recently the Palau bevelnosed boa was considered a subspecies of Candoia
carinata, which is found throughout most of the Solomon Islands Archipelago .
It has now been given full species status , but due to a lack of specific data,
much of the available information refers to Candoia carinata.
Biology
Although
mostly arboreal, this snake is also frequently found on the ground, and is
active during both the day and night . It is highly prehensile, and will
persistently grip any support within reach, with its tail or with its body. Its
diet consists mainly of frogs and geckos, and occasionally skinks .
Unlike the
majority of reptiles, the Palau bevelnosed boa gives birth to live young. Each
litter contains an average of 12 young, but may contain as many as 50; litter
size increases proportionally to the size of the female. Each female
reproduces, on average, less frequently than once a year .
Range
The Palau
bevelnosed boa is found on the islands of the Palau (or Belua) Archipelago .
The subspecies C. s. crombiei (Ngeaur bevelnosed boa) is limited to the island
of Ngeaur .
Habitat
The Palau
bevelnosed boa is commonly found in rainforest, although its abundance in
backyard banana and taro (a root vegetable) patches in towns, and on almost
completely deforested islands, shows it also adapts well to disturbed habitats .
Status
Listed on
Appendix II of CITES .
Threats
Despite its
ability to adapt to disturbed habitats, it is still likely that the Palau
bevelnosed boa, like all the terrestrial biodiversity of Palau, is threatened
by habitat loss and fragmentation, caused by increased development, such as the
construction of roads. Invasive species, uncontrolled fires and hunting also
pose a threat to the fauna and flora of the archipelago .
Conservation
There
are currently no specific attempts to conserve the Palau bevelnosed boa;
however, there are efforts underway to conserve the general biodiversity and
efficiently manage the natural resources of the islands . The Palau National
Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan outlines actions that will help conserve
the islands’ biodiversity, including establishing a network of protected areas
and protecting the islands from the negative impacts of invasive species .
