Surinam Red-Tailed Boa Constrictor
From: Surinam
Size: varies by species, usually averages 10 feet
Not all Boa Constrictors live in trees, as is commonly believe, it depends upon the species, the habitat, and how heavy the snake is. All Boas give live birth and all prey upon a variety of mammals and birds. A common household pet but, unfortunately, many are not properly taken care of.
