Description

When: March 24, 2019

Where: Olmense Zoo (now Pakawi Park) Olmen-Balen, Belgium

It's a SNAKE

Not easy to photograph in a humid area, with dirty glass... But very happy with how cool this relaxed Boa is lying here

Species: Common Northern Bea (Noordelijke boa)

Latin name: Boa (Constrictor) Imperator

Originates from Mexico, Central America and South America east of the Andes Mountains.

Did you know:

…The Common Northern Boa is nonvenous constrictor also known as Northern Boa, Columbian Boa or Common Boa.

…It looks nearly identical to the Red-Tailed Boa (Boa Constrictor) and is often mistaken for it. You can set it apart as the Common Northern Boa has fewer dorsal and anal scales, while th Red-Tailed Boa also has a darker end of the tail, leaning towards a red color.

…Because it is such a wide-ranging Snake, it’s appearance can differ greatly depending on the specific locality.

…They are commonly kept in captivity, and can be bred in a variety of different colors.
