The species is endemic to the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean. There are no recognized subspecies.[2] EtymologyThe specific name, cookii, is in honor of English artist and naturalist Edward William Cooke.[3] DescriptionC. cookii is similar to C. hortulanus and C. grenadensis, only smaller, with adults reaching a total length (including tail) of 5 feet (152 cm), and being mainly gray or brown in color. Not more than a few specimens exist in captivity.[4]Geographic rangeEndemic to the island of St. Vincent in the Caribbean, C. cookii is known only from a few locations on the island. The type locality given is "West Indies", which was restricted to "St. Vincent" by Henderson (1997).[1]See also
