They are quite hearty animals and can reach 2 - 2.5 m in length (they can at times exceed this size). They have typical rhomboidal designs along the body. The subspecies amarali has a lighter color. Habitat: Feeding: Care: The substratum of the terrarium should have a thick layer of vermiculite (or a similar substrate) of some 20 cm in height, with an alternative refuge for the animal. This procedure seeks to minimize the stress of the animals maintained in these conditions. Leave a large recipient of water available so that they can drink and bathe. The humidity of the terrarium is very important becuase it helps to prevent problems with a change in skin. Amazon Tree Boa Black and White Tegu Blue-Tongue Skink Brazilian Legless Lizard ...

Boa Constrictor ORDER: Squamata FAMILY: Boidae GENUS: Boa SPECIES: constrictor constrictor I. DESCRIPTION: Closely related to the python, the boa constrictor is pale sandy brown (which may have a pink cast) with 15 to 20 chocolate brown marks on its back. Normally grows to a length of 10 feet. The largest boa constrictor ever caught was 18.5 feet long. II. GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE AND HABITAT: Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. Boa constrictors may forage in the trees but they are mainly terrestrial, especially the larger ones, and live in hollow logs, mammal burrows, etc. III. DIET: Consists chiefly of birds, iguanas, and monkeys. IV. LIFE CYCLE/SOCIAL STRUCTURE: The female boa constrictor bears her young alive (ovoviviparous) and has been known to give birth to as many as 64 at one time. The young are about 24 inches long. V. SPECIAL ADAPTATIONS: Has a keen sense of smell used to detect the presence of other animals. It kills its prey by coiling around and suffocating rather than crushing. As with other snakes, the boa's loosely hinged jaws can be stretched far apart, enabling it to swallow animals with bodies much larger in diameter than the boa's head. VI. INTERPRETIVE INFORMATION:

Central American Boa Constrictor Boa constrictor imperator Albino Boa constrictor Common name: Central American boa constrictor Scientific name: Boa constrictor imperator Other common names: common boa, pet store boa, Colombian redtail boa Albino Boa constrictor General description: A medium-sized boa with a somewhat laterally compressed body, a slender neck and broad head quite distinct from the neck. Boas are pale brown snakes with pale dorsal blotches on the back separated by dark brown crossbars or saddles. The posterior portion of the body and the tail are patterned with dark red blotches bordered with black Average adult size: 4’6"-7’6" Hypo-pigmented Boa constrictor Distribution: This widespread taxon occurs from Sonora, Mexico south through Central America to northern Colombia and further south down the west coast through Ecuador. Comments: Boa constrictors are one of the most popular captives. At VPI we are producing t- albino boa constrictors descended from one of the original four wild-bred albinos from the Rio Magdelena drainage in northern Colombia. We are working with a new type of albinism, a t+ albino boa. We also have a very unusual patternless boa, an attractive male with which we hope to found an entirely new mutation of boa. Typically, most imperators in captivity are calm and pleasant animals, They are deliberate in their actions and seldom bite.

September 19, 2005 Boa Constrictor Acts Dead, Bread Eating Fish, Let Sleeping Cats, Popular Dogs By Steve Dale Q: A neighbor's boyfriend was keeping a boa constrictor. They swear it was dead and I'm afraid they will dump it outside. Do boas hibernate? Would it survive in the cold and snow? J. K., Sheboygan, WI A: It's horrifyingly cruel to relinquish a tropical snake into the cold and snow. The snake would surely die, freezing to death. Dr. Stephen Barten, a Mundelein, IL veterinarian with a special interest in reptiles, points out that many kinds of snakes found in the midwest do hibernate. These are snakes acclimated to cold climates, but even these guys must find a warm enough place to snooze through the winter. However, a boa constrictor is a tropical snake and not at all suited for Wisconsin weather. Q: My betta fish doesn't show any interest in food that I purchased at the pet shop. Accidentally, I fed him bread. He loved it. So, now, I've been giving the fish bread. Is this harmful? S. S., Cyberspace A: How does an accident like that happen?

93. Boa Constrictor Meet the boa Constrictor Now BC (as in, boa Constrictor) is a popular member of my science classroom. It has been held by hundreds of school children http://www.teachersnetwork.org/dcs/critter/boa/

Meet the Boa Constrictor About this Daily Classroom Special Critter Corner is maintained by Judith Jones , teacher at East Chapel Hill High School (NC) and Teachers Network web mentor. To the Critter Corner Directory Introduction When I was in elementary school (back around 1950!) there was a small museum in my home town that "checked out" animals to children for a couple of weeks much as a library will check out books. The animals were usually hamsters and lizards and other creatures that were safe and easy to take care of. The parents loved the idea! They could satisfy a child's "need" for a pet but avoid long-time commitments. It also allowed families to try out an animal to see if they really wanted to have one permanently. One of the animals that the museum did NOT check out to families (in spite of my pleas) was a beautiful boa constrictor. How I loved that snake! I went every possible opportunity I had to hold the snake. I loved the feel of it, the colors, and its docile acceptance of me. I promised myself that I would own a boa constrictor some day. Fast forward ahead to about 1990, Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I walked into my local pet store (one of my favorite places!) and staring me in the face was the most beautiful five foot boa that I had ever seen. A private party was selling it through the pet store. I worked out a deal to buy it "by the month." The pet store liked the deal because they could continue having the snake on display until I paid it off. Now B. C. (as in

The Animals Home ADOPT A BOA! Black Pine Animal Park 349 W. Albion Road Albion, IN 46701 Contact Us 2001 Black Pine Inc. Columbian (Red-Tail) Boa Constrictor "Choker" (pictured immediately below) arrived at Black Pine Animal Park in 2002. Raised by a loving young couple who had cared for him from just after birth until he was seven years old, his arrival was met a little trepidation by the staff. Like a great number of people, even the experienced staff at Black Pine were a little wary of welcoming a snake. The myths that surround these interesting reptiles vary from statements they are slimy to evil, though in reality they are mostly misunderstood. There are literally thousands of species of snakes throughout the world, many of which are poisonous. The boa, however, is not. This type of snake constricts its prey to kill, slowly suffocating it by squeezing tighter each time the prey exhales. The boa is easily confused with much more lethal and larger cousins that include pythons. Boas don't get that large and even at adulthood cannot consume anything much larger than a medium-sized rabbit. In January 2004, a second boa constrictor named 'Slitheran' was rescued. She, too, was a pet in need of a new home. She is shown at right. Younger than Choker, this snake is also much smaller, at about four feet in length.

100. Ladywildlife's Boa Constrictor Page A non venomous snake, the boa constrictor is nevertheless one of the most feared Food and Hunting The boa constrictor eats a wide variety of food. http://ladywildlife.com/animal/boaconstrictor.html

Boa Constrictor To see pictures of animals click the blue dot.. A non venomous snake, the boa constrictor is nevertheless one of the most feared inhabitants of the jungle. But in reality it is much less terrifying than many people imagine. The boa constrictor kills its prey by constriction. Once it catches its victim, the snake wraps its body around the prey in coils, tightening its grip each time the victim breathes out. Eventually no longer able to breathe, the prey dies of suffocation. Food and Hunting: The boa constrictor eats a wide variety of food. Young snakes eat mice, small birds, lizards, and frogs. As the snake grows, the size of its prey increases. Adults will eat monkeys, capybaras, agoutis, caimans, and wild pigs. The boa is a good swimmer and spends a lot of time near and in rivers. It waits for any prey which may come near the water to drink. Once a victim has been overpowered, it is swallowed whole. Since the boa is cold blooded and slow moving, it does not require a great amount of food. After eating large prey, such as a wild pig, the snake will not need to eat for a week or more. Habitat: The boa constrictor’s preferred habitat is rainforest, but it is also found in semiarid savannah. Because its range covers such a large area, the boa constrictor varies considerably in color, marking, and size. On Hog Island, off Central America, the boa constrictor is seldom longer than 3 feet; in most of Central America, it reaches 10 feet, while in Trinidad and Venezuela, it can grow to 20 feet. In the warmer areas, the boa constrictor is active throughout the year. However, in the cooler climes, it may spend long periods of time inactive. It is usually the more active young snakes that climb trees. Adults are slow moving and prefer the forest floor. A boa constrictor uses its prehensile (capable of grasping) tail to anchor itself to a branch.
