I use to have one as a pet and one day it wrapped around my left arm. These snakes have incredible strength
and use there body to squeeze there prey. My arm went numb so I felt just how strong the speces are when they cling onto your arm. My friend had to get our pet snake off as she was well wrapped up tight.
Amazing animals and a magnificent creature.
The boa constrictor (Boa constrictor), also called the red-tailed boa or the common boa, is a species of large, heavy-bodied snake that is frequently kept and bred in captivity.[2] The boa constrictor is a member of the family Boidae, found in tropical 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, although some of these are controversial.[3] This article focuses on the species Boa constrictor as a whole, and on the nominate subspecies B. c. constrictor.
