There are clear differences between the sexes, the type seen in women, usually greater length and width than men. As such, the average size of an adult female boa 7-10 ft (2.1 to 3.0 meters), while the 6-8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 m) for men. Report boa constrictor growing up to 18 5 ft (5.6 m), then misidentified green anaconda. Boa snake is thick and large specimens weighing up to 27 kg (60 lbs). Female gender, higher, better known to weigh 10-15 kg (22-33 lbs). Size and weight Boa constrictor depends on subspecies, and the local availability of suitable prey. There are several populations of Boa constrictor as a "dwarf" boa constrictors, such as the known population of B. c imperator on Hog Island. These smaller subspecies generally insular populations. B. C. constrictor is achieved, and sometimes, advice, diameters, because it is a relatively large subspecies of Boa constrictor. Pelvic spurs are the only external sign of the primitive hind legs and pelvis, seen in all boas BoA coloring can vary greatly depending on location.


Boa constrictor has a head like an arrow, special edge up. Boa constrictor can feel the warmth of his mouth cells, although mistakes I see around these receptors in many members of the family Boidae, nasal sores. Boas have two lungs, one (non-functional) left and enlarged right lower lung (functional) to better fit their elongated shape, unlike many snakes, which completely lost the left lung. Boa constrictor flourishes in a wide range of environmental conditions, from tropical rainforests to arid semi-desert country. However, the forest is preferred due to humidity and temperature, natural cover from predators and live large number of potential prey. Boa constrictor will also occupy the caves of medium-sized mammals, where it can hide from potential predators. Boa constrictor usually live alone and do not communicate with other snakes when they want to mate. As a semi-tree snakes, boa can juveniles trees and shrubs, but enhance crew, who are mostly in adulthood ground and harder. Boa constrictor attack when they feel threatened and bite in defense.


Specimens from Central America are irascible, hissing loudly and repeatedly strike when disturbed, while those from South America tame easily. Like all snakes, boa constrictor, a shed cycle is unpredictable. Boa is ovoviviparous, give birth to live young. They are usually played in the dry season from April to August and polygamous, both males mate with females more. In 2010, the boa constrictor appears reproduce asexually by parthenogenesis. During the breeding female boa gives the fragrance its sewer men win fight for the right to mate with her. When playing man curling his tail around women and hemipenes embedded (or male genitals) are. When can a woman ovulate swell noticed a medium body that looks like the snake ate a big meal. The gestation period, which is calculated from the ovulation shed, is approximately 100-120 days. Females give birth to young that average fifteen to twenty inches (38-51 cm) long.

(Roze, 1996). Males have a longer tail than females, but females reach a greater length. The dorsal scales are smooth in 15 lines. The ventral scales number 197-217 in males and 219-233 females. Red and black rings of width separated by narrow yellow rings: The staining pattern is formed by a series of rings around the body. The red rings are usually speckled with black. People who often live in their natural habitat of a popular lullaby that children taught "black keys red, friend of Jack, red, yellow, hit, kill another." The rhyme is useful for the education of children, king snakes (Lampropeltis ssp.) Fulvio occurs in Montana and mesophilic tropical networks in Florida, as well as clearing, tall pines, oaks and scrub Network Live Oak, Slash pine flatwoods and Wiregrass.



Bites and death are very rare. The last death occurred due to the eastern coral snake in 2009, the victim was not bitten to appropriate medical care and died a few hours later, becoming the first death caused by Fulvio more than 40 years. Fulvio excluded many cases of snake bites in the United States, with only about 100 bites per year. The snake is considered confidential and are reluctant to bite rule (its toxic potential was still under discussion in 1880), and poisoning is thought to occur in only 40% of bites. But unlike New World vipers pit, coral snakes in this new world can not control the amount of venom injected primarily neurotoxic. Biting bucket often the result of an accident or near-distraction, even if a coral snake venom holds adults is enough to kill a maximum of five adults can not release all their venom in a single bite. Wyeth has the production of coral snake antivenom in 2010, citing a lack of profitability.

The trend is the same color, but different in its current African Rock Python (Python sebae), sometimes resulting in confusion of the two species outside their natural habitat. In the wild, Burmese pythons reach 3.7 meters (12 feet) on average, while specimens of more than 4 meters (13 feet) are rare. In general, people of more than 5 meters are rare. The maximum record length Burmese Python is owned by a woman named "Baby," who lived in Serpent Safari in Gurnee, Illinois, 27 years. Bali reach an average length of 2 meters (6.6 feet) and Sulawesi up to 2.5 meters (8.2 feet).

Burmese pythons have also been reported Kinmen, near China, but the territory of Taiwan, Burmese Python belongs to the flora of Taiwan in Taiwan refers to the Republic of China, but not in Taiwan.


The python is an excellent swimmer and needs a permanent source of water. Burmese pythons are inhabitants of tropical forests, especially at night. Burmese pythons spend most of their time hidden in the underbrush. Winter Rest is biologically distinct from hibernation. Controversy exists whether the Burmese subspecies can brumate. Burmese Pythons breed in the spring, with females laying clutches which are an average of 12-36 eggs in March or April. Once the children use their egg tooth to leave their eggs, no other maternal care. Like all snakes, Burmese pythons are carnivores. Their diet consists mainly of birds and mammals of sufficient size. The snake uses its sharp teeth pointing to seize its prey, then wraps its body around the prey, while the muscles, killing the prey by constriction. Burmese pythons are often sold as pets, and was famous for its color and nature seemingly tolerant. However, these animals have a rapid growth, and often exceed 2.1 meters (7 feet) in length in a year if cared for and well fed.


Moreover, consuming large amounts of food, and for their size, require large, often custom, safety cabinets, which can be very expensive. A problem with the secondary energy Burmese pythons is that many owners believe if a snake is hungry fed. As Burmese pythons are opportunistic feeders, they will eat almost any food when offered, and often act hungry even after eating recently. A three-meter long Burmese python can easily kill a child [and five meters (about 16.5 feet) Burmese python is certainly capable of hitting and killing an adult.
