Common Northern Boa

Boa constrictor imperator

Description:

Its a nonvenomous boa subspecies found in Central America and northern parts of South America. The appearance of this snake varies greatly depending on the specific locality. Unfortunately it is a favorite among collectors, and there are fears that they are almost extinct in the wild.

Habitat:

Zoo

Notes:

The local zoo call me when they perform biometry processes with animals, so they can also see their progress through photographs. (they could do that, but they know I enjoy doing this :) )

No species ID suggestions
