The scientifically known Sanzinia madagascariensisis a rare boa that is highly attractive for pet trade because they are large and gentle, as well as easy to keep (Ross and Marzec, 1990). Sanzinia madagascariensis is the eastern species of the genus Sanzinia. They are a greenish color and their newborns are red with white stripes on saddles. The western species Sanzinia volontany on the other hand are a brownish color while their newborns are orange with yellow stripes on saddles and black dots on both sides. They reach maturity in four years and can have anywhere from four to sixteen newborns after a gestation period of six to eight months in low temperatures at night time (Ross and Marzec, 1990; Radovanovic, 2011, Valeev and Antonov, 2013).

Sanzinia is a genus of snakes in the family Boidae.
