Emerald Tree Boas reach an adult size of 6 feet, with a 10.5 feet record. Young Boas may vary in colour from red or orange to yellow with white bands across their back. As they age, their colour will change to a bright green. This happens scale by scale, normally with the head changing first. Deep pits are noticeable on the upper and lower labials (lip scales).
They can be found over quite a large range covering much of Northern and Central South America. Found in rain forests at the Amazon basin and forests of drainage systems in Colombia, Ecuador, Surinam and the Guiana. They can also be found as far North as Northern Bolivia. |
