title: "Boa constrictor" content: Boa constrictor The boa constrictor ("Boa constrictor"), also called the red-tailed boa or the common boa, is a species of large, non-venomous, heavy-bodied snake that is frequently kept and bred in captivity. The boa constrictor is a member of the family Boidae, found in tropical North, Central, and South America, as well as some islands in the Caribbean. A staple of private collections and public displays, its color pattern is highly variable yet distinctive. Ten subspecies are currently recognized, although some of these are controversial. This article focuses on the species "Boa constrictor" as a whole, and on the nominate


title: "Boa constrictor" content: subspecies "B. c. constrictor". Though all boids are constrictors, only this species is properly referred to as a "boa constrictor" – a rare instance of an animal having the same common English name and scientific binomial name. All subspecies are referred to as "boa constrictors", while the nominate subspecies, "B. c. constrictor", is often referred to specifically as the "red-tailed boa". Within the exotic pet trade, it is also known as a "BCC", an abbreviation of its scientific name, to distinguish it from other boa species such as "B. imperator", which is also regularly, and erroneously, referred to as a


title: "Boa constrictor" content: "red-tailed boa" or "common boa". Other common names include "chij-chan" (Mayan), "jiboia" (Latin American), and "macajuel" (Trinidadian). The boa constrictor is a large snake, although it is only modestly sized in comparison to other large snakes, such as the reticulated python and Burmese python, and can reach lengths from depending on the locality and the availability of suitable prey. Clear sexual dimorphism is seen in the species, with females generally being larger in both length and girth than males. The usual size of mature female boas is between whereas males are . Females commonly exceed , particularly in captivity, where


title: "Boa constrictor" content: lengths up to or even can be seen. The largest documented non-stretched dry skin is deposited at Zoologische Staatssammlung München (ZSM 4961/2012) and measures 14.6 ft (4.45 m) without head. A report of a boa constrictor growing up to was later found to be a misidentified green anaconda. The boa constrictor is a heavy-bodied snake, and large specimens can weigh up to . Females, the larger sex, more commonly weigh . Some specimens of this species can reach or possibly exceed , although this is not usual. The size and weight of a boa constrictor depends on subspecies, locale, and


title: "Boa constrictor" content: the availability of suitable prey. "B. c. constrictor" reaches, and occasionally tops, the averages given above, as it is one of the relatively large subspecies of "Boa constrictor". Other examples of sexual dimorphism in the species include males generally having longer tails to contain the hemipenes and also longer pelvic spurs, which are used to grip and stimulate the female during copulation. Pelvic spurs are the only external sign of the rudimentary hind legs and pelvis, seen in all boas and pythons. The coloring of boa constrictors can vary greatly depending on the locality. However, they are generally a brown,


title: "Boa constrictor" content: grey, or cream base color, patterned with brown or reddish-brown "saddles" that become more pronounced towards the tail. This coloring gives "B. c. constrictor" the common name of "red-tailed boa", as it typically has more red saddles than other "B. constrictor" subspecies. The coloring works as very effective camouflage in the jungles and forests of its natural range. Also, some individuals exhibit pigmentary disorders, such as albinism. Although these individuals are rare in the wild, they are common in captivity, where they are often selectively bred to make a variety of different color "morphs". Boa constrictors have an arrow-shaped head


title: "Boa constrictor" content: with very distinctive stripes on it: One runs dorsally from the snout to the back of the head; the others run from the snout to the eyes and then from the eyes to the jaw. Boa constrictors can sense heat via cells in their lips, though they lack the labial pits surrounding these receptors seen in many members of the family Boidae. Boa constrictors also have two lungs, a smaller (nonfunctional) left and an enlarged (functional) right lung to better fit their elongated shape, unlike many colubrid snakes, which have completely lost the left lung. "Boa imperator" has 81-95 dorsal


title: "Boa constrictor" content: scales, 231-250 ventral scales, 43-62 subcaudal scales, 21-25 supralabial scales and 2-3 anal scales. Depending on the subspecies, "Boa constrictor" can be found through South America north of 35°S (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, and Argentina), and in the Lesser Antilles (Dominica and St. Lucia), and many other islands along the coasts of South America. An introduced population exists in extreme southern Florida, and a small population on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands now appears to be reproducing in the wild. The type locality given is "Indiis" – a


title: "Boa constrictor" content: mistake, according to Peters and Orejas-Miranda (1970). "B. constrictor" flourishes in a wide variety of environmental conditions, from tropical rainforests to arid semidesert country. However, it prefers to live in rainforest due to the humidity and temperature, natural cover from predators, and vast amount of potential prey. It is commonly found in or along rivers and streams, as it is a very capable swimmer. Boa constrictors also occupy the burrows of medium-sized mammals, where they can hide from potential predators. Boa constrictors generally live on their own, and do not interact with any other snakes unless they want to mate.


title: "Boa constrictor" content: They are nocturnal, but they may bask during the day when night-time temperatures are too low. As semi-arboreal snakes, young boa constrictors may climb into trees and shrubs to forage; however, they become mostly terrestrial as they become older and heavier. Boa constrictors strike when they perceive a threat. Their bite can be painful, especially from large snakes, but is rarely dangerous to humans. Specimens from Central America are more irascible, hissing loudly and striking repeatedly when disturbed, while those from South America tame down more readily. Like all snakes, boa constrictors in a shed cycle are more unpredictable, because


title: "Boa constrictor" content: the substance that lubricates between the old skin and the new makes their eyes appear milky, blue, or opaque, so that the snake cannot see very well, causing it to be more defensive than it might be otherwise. Prey includes a wide variety of small to medium-sized mammals and birds. The bulk of their diet consists of rodents, but larger lizards and mammals as big as ocelots are also reported to have been consumed. Young boa constrictors eat small mice, birds, bats, lizards, and amphibians. The size of the prey item increases as they get older and larger. Boa constrictors


title: "Boa constrictor" content: are ambush predators, so often lie in wait for an appropriate prey to come along, when they attack. However, they have also been known to actively hunt, particularly in regions with a low concentration of suitable prey, and this behaviour generally occurs at night. The boa first strikes at the prey, grabbing it with its teeth; it then proceeds to constrict the prey until death before consuming it whole. Unconsciousness and death likely result from shutting off vital blood flow to the heart and brain, rather than suffocation as was previously believed; constriction can interfere with blood flow and overwhelm


title: "Boa constrictor" content: the prey's usual blood pressure and circulation. This would lead to unconsciousness and death very quickly. Their teeth also help force the animal down the throat while muscles then move it toward the stomach. It takes the snake about 4–6 days to fully digest the food, depending on the size of the prey and the local temperature. After this, the snake may not eat for a week to several months, due to its slow metabolism. Boa constrictors are viviparous, giving birth to live young. They generally breed in the dry season—between April and August—and are polygynous, thus males may mate


title: "Boa constrictor" content: with multiple females. Half of all females breed in a given year, and a larger percentage of males actively attempt to locate a mate. Due to their polygynous nature, many of these males will be unsuccessful. As such, female boas in inadequate physical condition are unlikely to attempt to mate, or to produce viable young if they do mate. Reproduction in boas is almost exclusively sexual. In 2010, a boa constrictor was shown to have reproduced asexually via parthenogenesis. The Colombian Rainbow boa, "Epicrates maurus" was found to reproduce by facultative parthenogenesis resulting in production of WW female progeny. The


title: "Boa constrictor" content: WW females were likely produced by terminal automixis (see Figure), a type of parthenogenesis in which two terminal haploid products of meiosis fuse to form a zygote, which then develops into a daughter progeny. This is only the third genetically confirmed case of consecutive virgin births of viable offspring from a single female within any vertebrate lineage. In 2017, Boa constrictors, along with Boa imperators and Burmese python, were found to contain a new set of sex determining chromosomes. Males were discovered to contain a pair of XY sex determining chromosomes, while females have a XX pair. This is the


title: "Boa constrictor" content: first time snakes were thought to contain male heterogamety, and since then has been found in Python regius as well. During the breeding season, the female boa emits pheromones from her cloaca to attract males, which may then wrestle to select one to breed with her. During breeding, the male curls his tail around the female's and the hemipenes (or, male reproductive organs) are inserted. Copulation can last from a few minutes to several hours, and may occur several times over a few-week period. After this period, ovulation may not occur immediately, but the female can hold the sperm inside


title: "Boa constrictor" content: her for up to one year. When the female ovulates, a midbody swell can be noticed that appears similar to the snake having eaten a large meal. The female then sheds two to three weeks after ovulation, in what is known as a postovulation shed which lasts another 2–3 weeks, which is longer than a normal shed. The gestation period, which is counted from the postovulation shed, is around 100–120 days. The female then gives birth to young that average in length. The litter size varies between females, but can be between 10 and 65 young, with an average of


title: "Boa constrictor" content: 25, although some of the young may be stillborn or unfertilized eggs known as "slugs". The young are independent at birth and grow rapidly for the first few years, shedding regularly (once every one to two months). At 3–4 years, boa constrictors become sexually mature and reach the adult size of , although they continue to grow at a slow rate for the rest of their lives. At this point, they shed less frequently, about every 2–4 months. This species does well in captivity, usually becoming quite tame. It is a common sight in both zoos and private reptile collections.


title: "Boa constrictor" content: Though still exported from their native South America in significant numbers, they are widely bred in captivity. When kept in captivity, they are fed mice, rats, rabbits, chickens, and chicks depending on the size and age of the individual. Captive life expectancy is 20 to 30 years, with rare accounts over 40 years, making them a long-term commitment as a pet. The greatest reliable age recorded for a boa constrictor in captivity is 40 years 3 months and 14 days. This boa constrictor was named Popeye and died in Philadelphia Zoo, Pennsylvania, on April 15, 1977. Proper animal husbandry is


title: "Boa constrictor" content: the most significant factor in captive lifespan; this includes providing adequate space, correct temperatures and humidity, and suitable food items. Up to 41.5% of captive boas test positive for eosinophilic inclusion bodies. However, in adult boa constrictors, the disease may remain subclinical for up to 2 years Boa constrictors are very popular within the exotic pet trade, and have been both captured in the wild and bred in captivity. Today, most captive boa constrictors are captive-bred, but between 1977 and 1983, 113,000 live boa constrictors were imported into the United States. These huge numbers of wild-caught snakes have put considerable


title: "Boa constrictor" content: pressure on some wild populations. Boa constrictors have also been harvested for their meat and skins, and are a common sight at markets within their geographic range. After the reticulated python, boa constrictors are the snake most commonly killed for snakeskin products, such as shoes, bags, and other items of clothing. In some areas, they have an important role in regulating the opossum populations, preventing the potential transmission of leishmaniasis to humans. In other areas, they are often let loose within the communities to control the rodent populations. All boa constrictors fall under CITES and are listed under CITES Appendix


title: "Boa constrictor" content: II, except "B. c. occidentalis", which is listed in CITES Appendix I. In some regions, boa constrictor numbers have been severely hit by predation from humans and other animals and over-collection for the exotic and snakeskin trades. Most populations, though, are not under threat of immediate extinction, thus they are within Appendix II rather than Appendix I. Boa constrictors may be an invasive species in Florida. 10 subspecies of "Boa constrictor" are described, but many of these are poorly differentiated and further research may redefine many of them. Some appear to be based more on location than biological differences, such

Several other subspecies have been described at different times, but currently these are no longer considered to be subspecies by many herpetologists and taxonomists. These include: The subspecific name "amarali" is in honor of Brazilian herpetologist Afrânio Pompílio Gastos do Amaral. The subspecific name "ortonii" is in honor of American naturalist James Orton.

The largest existing group of structured menhirs in the Iberian Peninsula (and one of the largest in Europe), this archaeological site consists of several megalithic structures: cromlechs and menhir stones, that belong to the so-called ""megalithic universe of Évora"", with clear parallels to other cromlechs in Portela Mogos (in Montemor-o-Novo). The construction


title: "Almendres Cromlech" content: of these structures dates back to the 6th millennium BC. They were rediscovered in 1966 by Henrique Leonor Pina, who was carrying out field work relating to the country's geological charts. The excavation of the site unearthed a series of both megalithic and neolithic construction phases; Almendres I 6000 BC (Early Neolithic), Almendres II 5000 BC (Middle Neolithic), and Almendres III 4000 BC (Late Neolithic). The relative chronology of the cromlech and menhirs is extremely complex and covers a period from the Neolithic to Chalcolithic. It is believed that the monument either had a religious/ceremonial purpose or functioned as a

The older ("Early Neolithic") monoliths are formed as two or three concentric circles of smaller monoliths in the western part of the complex, while the "Middle Neolithic" structures consist of two ellipses (irregular but concentric) and large menhirs. In the "Late Neolithic" phase the earlier constructions suffered modifications, transforming it into a site for social or religious rituals. Ninety-two of the menhirs form two grounds, which were built and oriented to different directions associated with the Equinox. Many of the stones were

The complex's latitudinal position is about the same as the maximum moon elongation (38.55 degrees for 1500 BC); comparably, another latitude where this occurs is associated with Stonehenge (51.18 degrees for 2000 BC). Although there are many large solitary 2.5 to 3.5 metres rounded/elliptical stones, most are smaller and formed into groups. The cromlech occupies an area of 70 by 40 metres, oriented along an axial alignment northwest to southeast. The columns show signs of profound erosion,

These designs take the form of lines and radials, at least two on each stone. About a dozen monoliths exhibit some form of carved drawings, of which four exhibit only small circular holes. Monolith number 8, with a cut flat top at about breast level and showing several dimples, might have served for finer astronomical observation, specially spring equinox observation, by putting small stones on the dimples. These observations might also be made from stone 39, on the eastern focal point of the elliptic layout. Menhir 48,
