Trachyboa gularis, commonly known as the Ecuadorian eyelash boa, is a species of nonvenomous snake in the family Tropidophiidae. ^[2] It is endemic to Ecuador, and is only known from an area where suitable habitat has been almost completely destroyed. Recent confirmed records are also lacking, and the IUCN has concluded that Trachyboa gularis is a possibly extinct species. ^[1]
