Good Mornin, Good Mornin, ah come fo’ me Guavaberry; Good Mornin, Good Mornin to you and all your family”
There is a popular Christmas song in the Virgin Islands that goes “Good Mornin, Good Mornin, ah come fo’ me Guavaberry; Good Mornin, Good Mornin to you and all your family”. It was written by the late, Virgin Islands’ composer Bill La Motta and is known as the Guavaberry Song. It is popular and cherished because it celebrates the very special Christmas tradition of Guavaberry Rum.
People in the Caribbean began making Guavaberry liquor centuries ago by mixing together guavaberries, rum and sugar. It is most popular in the Virgin Islands, St. Maarten and in the Dominican Republic’s eastern town of San Pedro de Macoris which has a large population of Eastern Caribbean descent. The liqueur has a fruity, spicy, bitter yet sweet taste. It is very hard to find outside of the Caribbean.

🐍Virgin Islands Tree Boa 🐍
‼️Endangered ‼️
There are four known species of snakes found in the wild on Tortola. They include the Virgin Island Tree Boa (Chilabothrus grantii), the Puerto Rican Racer (Borikenophis portoricensis anegadae), the Virgin Islands Racerlet (Magliophis exiguus exiguous), and the Virgin Islands Blind Snake (Typhlops richardii richardii).
The largest, the Virgin Islands Tree Boa (Chilabothrus grantii), formerly named Epicrates monensis grantii, reaches lengths of about one metre (about 3.4 ft) and is primarily nocturnal.
The Tree Boa is an excel- lent climber and hunts lizards, amphibians, rodents, small birds and perhaps even large insects.
It spends the heat of the day in small borrows, crev- ices, cavities, and is usually underground. It is wide- spread on Tortola, occurring from sea-level up to Sage Mountain.
The Boa has a relatively large head, with big yellow round eyes, which help its night vision. This subspe- cies is endemic to the Virgin Islands; however, the population in the BVI shows distinctive characteris- tics that distinguish it from those of St. John and St. Thomas. Nevertheless, morphological, genetic and ecological work is ongoing to determine the signifi- cance of these differences. The Tree Boa is non- venomous and completely harmless to humans.

The Big Claw River Shrimp 🦐(Macrobrachium carcinus)
This native freshwater crustacean live all or most of their lives in water; without it, they will go extinct (some species can survive in brackish environments, and eggs and hatchlings may survive periods at sea). Most of Tortola’s aquatic invertebrates are found on the northern side of the island where more permanent pools are found along streams. As long as these areas maintain their thick forest with tall trees and are undisturbed, these animals will persist. However, many ponds have already been reduced or disappeared, as roads and human structures are built on the upper slopes and summits of the island.
At least three species of crayfish and one freshwater crab are known from Tortola. This is the largest of Tortola’s crayfish, The Big Claw River Shrimp (Macrobrachium carcinus).
