Emerald Tree Boa (Corallus caninus)

The Emerald Tree Boa lives in the rainforests of South America. Its radiant green scales make it stand out amongst the foliage.

They prefer to reside in treetops, avoiding the busy forest floor. Its emerald coloration allows it to blend in with its surroundings.

Its diet mainly consists of small mammals and birds; the species has honed its hunting skills to become experts at using heat-sense pits to detect warm-blooded prey.

The Emerald Tree Boa also possesses elongated front teeth, which aid in capturing and holding onto their prey. These boas are primarily nocturnal and solitary. 

Interestingly, they give birth to live young, covered in reddish-brown scales.
