Garden Tree Boa Corallus hortulanus (prev. Corallus enydris)

The Amazon Tree or Garden Tree Boa is native to northern South America. Males grow to some 5 feet (1.5 metres) and females to over 6 feet (2 metres).

There are two main colour "phases": the Garden phase is drab olive (shown above left) or brown, which can be plain or patterned; the Coloured phase is a great variety of often bright reds, oranges and yellows with or without patterns. They drape themselves over tree branches to wait for passing prey.
