The Madagascar tree boa, Sanzinia madagascariensis madagascariensis, is one of four snakes in the family Boidae living in Madagascar. This species is considered ‘vulnerable' due to habitat loss and utilization as a food source by locals. Twenty species-specific microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from Sanzinia m. madagascariensis to assess population genetic parameters. Individuals were collected from two populations in the east and the northeastern coast of Madagascar: Torotofotsy wetlands and Mananara-Nord Biosphere Reserve, respectively. This marker suite will provide a useful tool for future research to determine and validate the taxonomic status of the tree boa with samples collected extensively throughout the island.
