A green boa snake we found at Tagaytay Zoo during the last time we visit the place. I hate snakes, it freaks me just by looking at it, but when the husband pet one for a photo op, I was obliged to came closer for a quick pose, I will try to find the said photo and post it here next time.
Anyways, BOA -name for live-bearing constrictor snakes of the family Boidae. Member of the boa family have two functional lungs instead of one, as is found in other snakes, and vestiges of hind limbs; these primitive characteristics are indicative of their relationship to lizards.

I love the color of this snake. I really don’t mind snakes that much. Just don’t want them in the house since I have pet rats and I really don’t want to see them being lunched upon.
I didn’t know that any snakes did the live birth thing. Interesting.
