Red-tailed Boa

The red-tailed boa, also known as the boa constrictor, is native to the trees of South America — but this one hails from Long Island, New York! He was born and raised in captivity for three years until his owner decided to donate him to the Green Chimneys Wildlife program. In the boa\’s specialized enclosure, students can observe his movements and behaviors and even assist with feeding him rats.
