The Emerald tree boa is a striking snake native to the rainforests of South America. It is known for its vibrant green color, which helps it blend into the foliage. This non-venomous snake typically grows to about 6 to 8 feet in length and has a distinctive triangular head. Emerald tree boas are primarily nocturnal and are excellent climbers, spending most of their time in trees. They feed mainly on small mammals and birds, using their heat-sensing pits to locate prey. Their unique coloration and behavior make them a popular species among reptile enthusiasts.
