I had to do a double-take when I read the article. The small Caribbean island was not Cozumel, but Aruba! If you want to read about Cozumel’s boa constrictors (which are genetically different from Aruba’s and got to Cozumel over 20 years earlier) you can find out more about them in my latest book, Natural History of Cozumel, on Amazon books.
