This week's animal teach is the Dumeril's Boa! This beautiful constrictor is native to the dry forest and thorn bush of the western and south western coast of Madagascar. Dumeril's Boas are moderately sized, averaging about 4-6ft, maxing out at roughly 7ft and 20lbs. Young Dumeril's Boas are largely nocturnal while adults tend to be irregularly active during both night and day. These snakes snakes are ambush predators with a diet consisting mostly of small mammals with the occasional addition of lizards and birds. Mating season for Dumeril's Boas is March through May resulting in about 6-18 live babies being born about 1.5ft long. While major pressures like deforestation and persecution, the Dumeril's Boa is prolific in captivity. Look up your local zoo or wildlife park to see if you can get up close to this remarkable species!
