One of several Amazon Tree Boas we found on a night time boat ride in Peru.

I found this Rosa Boa in central Arizona earlier in the year. This is one of two species of boa that live in Arizona, which is a surprise to many who live here. They’re relatively small, typically around 2 feet long, and harmless to people (unless you consider an occasional minor nip “harm”). This one was photographed and left to crawl under the boulder and disappear.
