| Description |
English: No, look again- this is not a python, but it's a Boa constrictor. The Boa constrictor is a species of large, heavy-bodied snake. It is a member of the family Boidae found in North, Central, and South America, as well as some islands in the Caribbean. A staple of private collections and public displays, its color pattern is highly variable yet distinctive. Ten subspecies are currently recognized, There is clear sexual dimorphism seen in the species, with females generally being larger in both length and girth than males. As such, the average size of a mature female boa is between 7–10 feet, whilst it is 6–8 feet for the males. Although boas are like pythons non venomous and kill their prey by squeezing them to death, the main difference between them is that pythons lay eggs while boas give birth to live young.
