Default Any snakes only found In Dominican Republic?

So I am trying to find a list of snakes, that either can only be found in DR, or the majority. I haven't gotten any good results on google. Was wondering if anyone knows already? Any help will be much appreciated!!!

There are very few and nobody pays much attention to them as they are not dangerous, which may explain you not finding any Google results.

Ahhh...Sucks. I am getting/want to get a tattoo of a snake...because I will never be able to get one (parents and wife are terrified of them...sigh). So I was trying to find out if there was a species specific to DR.

Default There are boas......

...I know folks have posted pics and discussed this on the board in the past.

Plus , you could just tatto a pic of a sanky on yourself....thats a type of snake...but I suppose its not exclusive to the DR either. Maybe the boa will be better.
