Boa Constrictors!

Today im going to cover the Red Tail boa constrictor. Red-tailed Boa or boa constrictor ,is a species of boa constrictor.The boa is the 2nd largest species of snake after the Anoconda.The Red tailed boa is my favorite type of boa constrictor because its an absolutely beautiful snake with a nice skin colours and patteren.The largest known boa is in the San Diego Zoo and is 14.5 foot long female and the longest boa ever caught was 18.5 feet long.But most in captivety are between 5 to 12 feet.Native to the tropical forests of Central and South America. Boa constrictors may forage in the trees but they are mainly perfer to stand on the ground.
The red tail boa have an beautiful and interesting pattern of brown to reddish-brown or black "saddles" of color on a lighter background color which can range through white, golden, grey or brownish, pink, with a reddish brown tail.(i love the tan with reddish pattern.)in general they live between 20-30 years of age.when a boa constrictor is raised in captivety does become some what docile but still is more aggressive than a ball python,and boas have been know to accidently strike thinking the handlers hand is prey.boas are none venomous and in general are hardy and make fairly good pets on the whole.But once again if you have children i perfer the ball python.
