I found this lovely youngster coiled among the stones by the river one morning, while I was brushing my teeth! Posted 4 years ago

  Indeed! This was my first time seeing a wild boa constrictor, I didn't remember that red tail in captive individuals I'd seen (though looking at images online, I now see that it seems much more pronounced on the South American than the Central American species).

That's amazing! In my country they're also very docile and barely even react when you pick them up. Posted 4 years ago

  Aha that's great! I was very tempted to pick him up, but decided to just let him enjoy his nap :)
