No matter the size, every gift to the Museum is critical to our 300 scientists' work in understanding and protecting the natural world. We are a charity and we rely on your support. Understanding and protecting life on our planet is the greatest scientific challenge of our age. To reverse the damage we've done and protect the future, we need the knowledge that comes from scientific discovery. People tell us they 'still get shivers walking through the front door', and thank us for inspiring the next generation of scientists. Introduction: Understanding the Boa Constrictor and Python. We must act on scientific evidence, we must act together, and we must act now.įor many, the Natural History Museum is a place that inspires learning, gives purpose and provides hope. But if we don't look after nature, nature can't look after us. This is the first time in Earth's history that a single species - humanity - has brought such disaster upon the natural world. Climate change is creating deserts and dead zones, and hunting is driving many species to the brink of extinction.

But I think they would be less likely to bite, especially as baby.

But still not always the most comfortable handling(sometimes they like to swing, very rare but they will bite if you don't hold them just right) whereas a boa is much heavier bodied but a little more comfortable with handling.

These may exceed 8.8 m (29 ft) and 227 kg (500 lb), although such reports are not fully verified. Baby carpets can be downright nasty for nipping, but they are so small it usually just bounces off with very little if any blood. By families Boas ( Boidae) The most massive living member of this highly diverse reptilian order is the green anaconda ( Eunectes murinus) of the neotropical riverways.
