Emerald Tree Boa
Corallus caninus, also known as the emerald tree boa, is a beautifully colored snake found in the rainforests of South America. This serpent uses its body to coil around things. In addition, it also owns a set of highly developed front teeth which are proportionately larger than those of any other snake. The emerald tree boa spends most of its days coiled over branches. Because of its strong tail, it’s able to curl around or grip objects & move between the branches of trees. Identified as a separate species since 2009, Corallus batesii, the Amazon Basin emerald tree boa, is darker in color than Corallus caninus & larger reaching lengths of almost 9 feet.
