Tree Boas

Tree Boas

We’ve talked about snakes in the water and snakes on the ground. Now, there’s another group of snakes to be wary of — those on trees — the tree boas. These snakes are non-venomous, but don’t sigh in relief just yet. After all, these are heavy-bodied snakes that are capable of suffocating you. Also, they can still deliver painful bites, especially since they have larger teeth than venomous snakes. Examples of these include the Amazon tree boa (which is known for its temper), the bright green emerald tree boa, the shiny rainbow boa and the boa constrictor, which can grow up to 13 feet (4 meters) long.
