Informations supplémentaires

Corallus caninus, commonly called the emerald tree boa, is a non-venomous boa species found in the rainforests of South America. No subspecies are currently recognized. Adults grow to about 6 feet (1.8 m) in length. They have highly developed front teeth that are likely proportionately larger than those of any other non-venomous snake. C. caninus appears very similar to the green tree python, Morelia viridis, from southeast Asia and Australia. Only very distantly related, this is an example of convergent evolution. Physical differences include the head scalation and the location of the heat pits around the mouth.
