The Amazon tree boa is a member of the Corallus genus found throughout South America. Like all boa species, it is non-venomous and instead kills its prey through the use of constriction. They are fairly large, and sometimes grow to be over seven feet long.

History:
Once relatively rare in the pet trade, the Amazon tree boa is becoming increasingly popular among snake enthusiasts and owners. When compared to other boa species, they are much more slim and lightweight and as a result, easier to handle. However, their aggressive disposition can make them a challenging pet, and they should only be owned by those experienced with caring for a large snake species.
