Hatchling constricted & consumed 1 full grown female mouse 8/19/2017 Boa constrictor imperator (reptile) The common Boa constrictor imperator is a top nocturnal predator that kills its prey by constriction. Although it prefers small mammals such as rodents and bats, it also eats birds, amphibians, lizards, iguanas, and other snakes. It may thrive in forested areas, savannahs, cultivated sites, and suburbs. It exhibits both terrestrial and arboreal habits. It may enter caves to catch bats on flight. This species represents a threat to humans, particularly small children. It may affect agricultural activities. For example, causing damage to chicken farms. It threatens native species of amphibians, birds, lizards, snakes, and bats. It may even outcompete the two native boa species: the Puerto Rican boa Epicrates inornatus and the Mona Island boa Epicrates monensis, which are smaller in size than the common boa constrictor.

I have corrected the map for you.
There is a free conversion tool here https://www.directionsmag.com/site/latlo...
This gives more accurate figures than those I gave earlier which are 18.073450 -66.9495833
Hi tomasfx04, we have noticed you are having a problem with the mapping co-ordinates so we have some help details for you.
Project Noah is a free to use program being run by volunteers and mapping services are generally very expensive to run so we only use the basic version from Google Cloud services. so we no longer have access to their search services which used to be free, or at least very cheap. The following explains how to use the free service.
MAPPING
All you have to do when you select location is either enter coordinates if you know them, or leave it blank and press enter. With the latter option you will be taken to either your last used location or to Lat 0 Lon 0 on the map and you can then drag and drop the pin in the correct place manually in conjunction with the zoom buttons for greater accuracy.
If you have a camera which has an attached operating location device such as GPS, or are using a mobile device with camera and location services turned on, when you upload the picture it will also read the location data and automatically put the pin in the right place.
If you know your location data you can enter it in the format 0.00 0.00 You must enter at least 2 decimal places even if they are zeroes. Use more for greater accuracy.
Put a - sign in front of the first number if you are south of the equator, and a - in front of the second number if you are west of the Greenwich meridian, so for this spotting the correct co-ordinates are 18.072718 -66.949725
If you use Google Earth to obtain co-ordinates you can go to Tools>Options>3D View tab and in the Show Lat/Lon box select Decimal Degrees, then click Apply followed by OK.
