The Central American boa (Boa imperator), also known as the northern boa, Colombian boa, Colombian red-tailed boa, common boa, or common northern boa, is a large species of arboreal boa snake mostly found in Central America. Despite being quite large, these boas are smaller than their relatives; they range in length from one to three meters and have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years.
The Central American boa is distinguished by its brownish body color, X-shaped dark patterns on its back, and reddish-hued tail. Being a constrictor snake, it snares its prey and then consumes them whole. Their prey can include reptiles, birds, and small mammals like rats, juvenile deer, and even bats.
