The Puerto Rican Boa is a non-venomous snake native to the island of Puerto Rico. It is known for its distinctive coloration, which typically includes shades of brown, gray, and cream, allowing it to blend into its forest habitat. This species can grow up to 8 feet long and is primarily nocturnal, hunting small mammals, birds, and reptiles. As a vital part of the Puerto Rican ecosystem, the Puerto Rican Boa helps control the populations of its prey. Unfortunately, it faces threats from habitat loss and invasive species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect this unique snake and its natural environment.
