The boa constrictor (boa constrictor) or simply jiboia is a snake that can reach an adult size of 2 meters (Boa constrictor amarali) at 4 meters (Boa constrictor constrictor), rarely reaching this maximum size. It exists in Brazil, where it is the second largest snake (the largest is the sucuri) and can be found in several places, such as in the Atlantic Forest, restingas, mangroves, in the Cerrado, Caatinga and Amazon Rainforest.
In Brazil, there are two subspecies: the Boa constrictor constrictor (Forcart, 1960) and the Boa constrictor amarali (Stull, 1932). The first one is yellowish, with more peaceful habits and typical of the Amazon region and the northeast. The second, jiboia-amarali, can be found more to the south and southeast of the country, being sometimes found in more central regions of the country.
It is basically an animal with nocturnal habits (which is verifiable by having eyes with a vertical pupil), although it also has daytime activity.
It is considered a viviparous animal because, at the end of gestation, the embryo receives the necessary nutrients from the mother's blood. Some biologists devalue this final part of the gestation and consider it only ovovivípara because, although the embryo develops inside the body of the mother, most of the time is dedicated to the incubation in an egg separated from the maternal body. The gestation can take half a year, being able to have of 12 to 64 pups per litter, that are born with approximately 48 centimeters of length and 75 grams of weight.
It detects the prey by the perception of movement and heat and surprises them in silence. It feeds on small mammals (mainly rats), birds and lizards that kills by constriction, wrapping the body of the prey and suffocating it. Its mouth is very dilatable and presents serrated teeth in the jaws, dentition áglifa. The digestion is slow, usually lasting seven days, and can be extended to a few weeks, during which it stands still, in a state of torpor.
Very docile animal, despite being reputed to be dangerous; Is not venomous (although its bite is painful and can cause infection) and can not eat large animals, being harmless. It is highly pursued by hunters and animal dealers because it has a high commercial value as a pet, and its skin can be used in the manufacture of leather goods. A jiboia born in captivity accredited by the Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources can cost from 1 050 to 6 000 reais, sometimes more, according to their coloration.
There is a black market for wild animals in Brazil, because the laws make it difficult to breed in captivity, despite the low risk of accidents involved in the breeding of this animal. The Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources suspended the license for sale of jiboias in the State of São Paulo, although international studies show that regulated trade is the most efficient way to combat the trafficking of exotic animals.
