Brazilian Rainbow Boa: Epicrates cenchria cenchria
Distribution and Habitat
Throughout much of South America, primarily along the Amazon River Basin.
Humid woodland forests as well as occasionally in open savannas.
Ranging between 4–6 ft in length, the Brazilian rainbow boa can vary quite greatly in color and markings, but universally contains three parallel black stripes atop their head as well as rings that run down the length of their back.
Though found predominantly in or around certain bodies of water, the Brazilian rainbow boa can readily climb trees to locate food sources.
