Emerald tree boa

The emerald tree boa is a boa species found in the rainforests of South America. The color pattern typically consists of an emerald green ground color with a white irregular interrupted zigzag stripe or so-called “lightning bolts” down the back and a yellow belly. The diet consists primarily of small mammals, but they have been known to eat some smaller bird species as well as lizards and frogs. The emerald tree boa resembles the southern green tree python from Southeast Asia and Australia.
