What is a tree?

Emerald Tree Boa comes from Brazil, Guyany and Surinam. As the name suggests, this green snake with white stripes prefers to live in forest leaves. He likes to stay near the swamp or swamp areas. Tree Boa is a constructor and is a carnivorous animal. Some snakes found in the Amazon Basin measured up to nine feet (2.7 m) long. They are very good at climbing trees and hold with the lower body while their heads stretch up. As soon as they have wrapped the head and neck around the trunk or higher branch, the snake releases its tail and moves the lower body to the same level as the head.

This snake is night, which means it is the most active at night. It is able to detect its prey using thermal sensors, which are located under its upper lip. These sensors help to locate the snake and hunt with warm -haired animals such as birds and small mammals such as rats, squirrels, monkeys and bats. Lizards can also form part of the Boa diet. Emerald Tree Boa also uses its fork tongue to "taste" air and detectionat the smell.

When the Boa tree locates its prey, it uses careful approach to it. The green and white color of its weight helps to provide effective camouflage for the snake. BOA uses its long, sharp teeth to grab the prey and hold it while it quickly ovrates around the animal's prey. Once the coils are in place, the snake begins to press its strong muscles. Every time she exhales the prey, the BOA squeezes stronger. Squeezing continues until the animal is nitted.

snakes do not chew their prey. Instead, they swallow it all and starting with their heads. Once the snake like the boa ate food, digestion is a lengthy process. The snake will be the net after feeding must eat again.
