Dog-headed boas reach a length of 2 to 3 m. The color is bright green with white spots on the back, sometimes connected by a thin white line running along the ridge. The color of the abdomen varies from dirty white to light yellow. Young boas are red-orange, occasionally green [3] . A very tenacious tail allows the snake to not only deftly and quickly move among the branches, but also to rest on a thin branch, having strengthened its tail, hanging two half rings of the trunk on each side of the branch and resting its head on top. When kept in captivity, a dog-headed boa usually spends all day calmly, resting on the branches, and takes food after dusk.
A dog-headed boa lives in the tropical rainforests of South America : in Guyana , Suriname , French Guiana , southeastern Venezuela ( Bolivar , Amazonas ), northeastern Brazil (north of the Amazon and north and east of the Rio Negro ) [3] . Usually found near water bodies. Leads exclusively woody lifestyle. Distributed to a height of 200 m above sea level.
It feeds on birds , which it lies in wait and tracks at night in the crowns of trees . Thanks to the very elongated front teeth, the boa constrictor is able to reliably capture feathered prey and keep it on weight.
