Boa Clouded behavior

Often mistaken for the Hogg Island Boa, the Clouded Boa is an equally beautiful snake, which is quite rare. If cared for correctly, this snake makes a lovely and rewarding pet.

The care for Clouded Boas is very similar to that of the more common Boa Constrictors. In the wild, these lovely snakes inhabit the island of Dominica, where they live in tropical rainforest climes. They like to congregate in the daytime in groups of two to seven adult snakes. These groupings are known as "tete-chien cavalesche" and generally occur in basking spots: warm rocks or root systems, or more commonly, sulfur gas vents or hot spring steam vents.
