Made up of ten different subspecies, the boa constrictor is a type of large, heavy-bodied snake endemic to North, Central, and South America. Boas are famous for their hunting methods, in which they kill prey by crushing and asphyxiating them with their bodies. A familiar site in zoos and even household reptilian collections, boa constrictors adapt well to captivity and may even become tame enough to handle. Thankfully, boa constrictors are not faced with any immediate risk in terms of becoming endangered or threatened. In fact, their numbers are increasing at a dramatic rate in Florida after being introduced into the wild accidentally. Like all Safari Ltd products, this figurine has been individually hand painted, features quality construction from phthalate and lead-free materials, and includes an educational hangtag in 5 languages. Realistic, educational, and fun, this XL figurine is suitable for a range of interests, including collectors, enthusiasts, teachers, and kids. Admire it on a shelf, use it in the classroom, or simply enjoy playing with it. 6 inches long and 3.75 inches wide, our boa figurine is about an inch longer and wider than a soda can on its side. Depending on the environment in which it lives, a boa constrictor's physical appearance can vary widely; this figurine depicts the most common coloration, with a cream base color and a dark brown accenting pattern.
