| Boa Constrictors |
The small constrictor in the first photo (like the one on my shoulders on the first page) will eventually grow into a large and very strong snake, such as the lovely large boa in the second picture. Boa constrictors are beautiful and generally gentle, but at 8-10 feet long when mature they are strong enough that their keepers need to be careful and aware of what their snakes can do. Find out more in "Boa Constrictors as Pets."
