Description
This snake, a beautiful emerald boa constrictor (Corallus caninus), is dropping down to visit us from a tree above and study us with its golden eyes. Here we see only the head and a bit of the body, close up. The scales are detailed in green and yellow, and the background is foliage of softly lit subtle greens. These snakes inhabit wet lowland rain forests of South America. They are found in the canopy and the understory of the rain forest and are reported to be most common in branches overhanging bodies of water.
