Puerto Rico Boa Range: The Puerto Rican boa is endemic to Puerto Rico. It is more common on the karst region in the north-western tip of the island. Habitat: Puerto Rican boas are arboreal (live primarily in trees), but desend to ground level in rocky habitats. These snakes mainly use trees and caves for foraging and resting locations. Beside rocks and trees, light gaps and forest edges are frequently used for basking. Characteristics: The largest snake in Puerto Rico, this slender constrictor is non-venomous. As its scientific name indicates, inornatus (meaning unadorned), this species is not brightly colored. The color is generally variable but usually ranges from pale to dark brown or gray in color, with 70 to 80 darker colored blotches along the back from neck to vent. These dorsal blotches are generally dark-bordered with the centers of a lighter color. Behavior: These snakes mainly forage at night and bask or remain concealed during the day. Their activity peaks in times of high rainfall following prolonged dry spells. Generally this is at the time when seasonal temperatures, day length, and rainfall levels are increasing. The boa feeds by seizing the prey in its jaws, wrapping several coils around the victim, and then constricting until the prey has suffocated. The prey is then swallowed head first. The feeding habits of the very young are unknown. Reproduction: Mating occurs at the beginning of the wet season and the females give birth about 6 months later, and only one clutch is produced annually. The 23-32 young boas are born live.
