We spoke to Graham about how he and his fellow researchers and co-authors have helped to significantly increase the level of knowledge and understanding of the biology of boas in the West Indies, how they hope their new book will draw new researchers into the field, and we’ll hear Graham share some interesting behind-the-scenes stories during his time studying boas.
