Emerald Tree Boa
 Corallus caninus, commonly called the emerald tree boa, is a  non-venomous boa species found in the rainforests of South America.  Since 2009 the corallus batesii species is fully recognized and split  from the synonymy corallus caninus.     If your familiar with Green Tree Pythons you will notice that Emerald  Tree Boas look very much like Green Tree Pythons. Emerald Tree Boas  grow to about five foot as adults and are a more aggressive species of  snakes.   The snake usually hangs up in the tree with its head hanging down so  it can grab its prey if it approaches from below and then it constricts  its prey and kills it before it swallows its prey. The Emerald Tree Boa  spends its days up in the branches of a tree and hunts at night.   The Emerald Tree Boa will feed on almost any small mammal and also  birds. It was once thought that the snake fed only on birds but it is  now known that this is not true. It catches its prey extremely fast and  its metabolism is much slower than snake...
