The Boa Constrictor is a large, non-venomous snake found primarily in Central and South America. It is known for its distinctive pattern of brown, tan, and cream colors, which helps it blend into its natural habitat. Adult boas can grow to lengths of 10 to 13 feet, although some individuals may reach even longer sizes. They are primarily nocturnal and are excellent climbers. Boa constrictors are constrictors, meaning they subdue their prey by wrapping around it and squeezing until it suffocates. Their diet mainly consists of small mammals, birds, and occasionally reptiles. These snakes are popular in the pet trade due to their docile nature and striking appearance.
