In the list below the rules it lists the genus Charina – rubber boa and rosy boa
Rosy boa is not under the genus of Charina.

In the C division rules, it says that I need to know the "anatomy and
physiology, reproduction, habitat characteristics, ecology, diet, behavior, conservation, taxonomy,

What does it mean by conservation and biogeography?
