In the wild Red-Tailed Boa Constrictors will
eat many prey including lizards, rodents, birds and even prey
as large as monkeys or wild pigs.
Most snakes lay eggs, however red-tailed boas
have live birth. After a gestation period of 4 to 6 months
they will give birth to anywhere between 20 and 40 young.
At birth red-tailed boas are between 16 and 20 inches long,
with sexual maturity being reached at 3 years. |
