Summary

[edit]
Description

A close look at the massive head of the boa. As you can see, the lighting was pretty bad in there. The Boa constrictor flourishes in a wide variety of environmental conditions, from tropical rainforests to arid semi-desert terrain. However, it prefers to live in rainforest due to the humidity and temperature, natural cover from predators and vast amount of potential prey. It is commonly found in or along rivers and streams, as it is a very capable swimmer. Prey includes a wide variety of small to medium sized mammals and birds. The bulk of their diet consists of rodents, but larger lizards and mammals as big as ocelots are also reported to have been consumed. Young Boa constrictors will eat small mice, birds, bats, lizards and amphibians. It might surprise you to learn that the mighty anaconda is also a species of boa.
