Northern Emerald Tree Boa

Corralus caninus

Northern Emeralds are a small to medium heavy bodied boa with an average adult size from 3-5.5 ft. This species occurs in rainforest habitats of north central South America. They are a dominantly green snake with striking white lightning bolt pattern off the back. The white varies in amount and intensity with grey edges muddying up most towards the neck. Some individuals are pattern less green and some have darker green round blotches instead of white patterning.

I keep a small group of predominantly wild collected specimens so my offspring are unrelated to other lineages.
