Boa constrictors (Boa constrictor) are large, non-venomous snakes native to Central and South America. Renowned for their impressive size, they can grow up to 13 feet long. These powerful constrictors kill prey by coiling around and suffocating them. Their diet primarily includes birds, mammals, and occasionally reptiles. Boa constrictors exhibit a variety of colours and patterns, providing excellent camouflage in their natural habitats, which range from tropical rainforests to arid regions. In captivity, they are popular pets due to their manageable size and generally docile nature. However, they require specific care, including appropriate enclosure size, temperature, and humidity.
