Madagascar Tree Boa

Place of Origin and Range	Endemic to Madagascar. Occurs in the central, northern and western parts of the island.
Description	The colouration of these snakes varies greatly.These particular boas have an irridescent cast over them. There is an indistinct dark streak running down the centre of the back, with prominent dark oval blotches on the upper side of the body.
Adult Size	Can grow to 8 feet(2.4m)
Accommodation	The species usually occurs in sparse, open woodland such as the Madagascar dry deciduous forests. Woodland or shore line. Plenty of branches for climbing. Leafy plants will provide the required humidity and hides. You will always want to include a large dish for bathing and soaking in to improve shedding. Always include a day basking spot at 80'F(27'C). Along with multiple hides. Minimum 2 x 2 x 4 feet for an adult.
Lifespan	Can live 10+years
Feeding / Diet	The diet consists of small mammals and birds.
Breeding	Mating takes place after emerging from hibernation. Females may be courted by and copulate with more than one male. Ovoviviparous, females give birth to 4-6 large young after a long gestation period of 4–6 months. Neonates are 19-24 inches (48–61 cm) in length and are already capable of feeding on small rodents and birds.
Other Considerations	Snakes are relatively hardy low maintenance animals when kept in the correct environment, and require little day to day care other than feeding and cleaning out the tank as required. However, like all animals, they can still become sick or injured despite our best intentions to prevent this.
