Erycinae is a subfamily of the family Boidae which includes Rubber Boas, Sand Boas, Rosy Boas, and depending on the source, the Calabaria. Chordates ( Phylum Chordata) are a group of Animals that includes the Vertebrates together with several closely related Invertebrates Reptiles, or members of the class Reptilia are air-breathing Cold-blooded Vertebrates that have skin covered in scales as opposed to hair or feathers Squamata (scaled reptiles is the largest recent order of Reptiles including Lizards and Snakes Members of the order are distinguished by A snake is an elongate Reptile of the suborder Serpentes Like all reptiles snakes are covered in scales.

Compared to true boas, erycines are quite small, with most members of the subfamily remaining well under a metre in length. Fossil erycines have been found in rock strata over 50 million years old, and were once widespread in North America. Now, only two species remain in North America, as well as the sand boas in Africa, Asia and southeastern Europe. In Biology, a species is one of the basic units of Biological classification and a Taxonomic rank.
