Boa Constrictor, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica
Copa De Arbol Beach & Rainforest Resort, Drake Bay, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica (January 2018)
This snake was seen at the end of the Loop Trail at Copa De Arbol. I emerged from the rainforest to see a member of staff together with some guests obviously grouped around a subject of interest. I assumed a bird so was looking in the bushes but saw nothing then I glanced down to see this large Boa moving slowly on the ground apparently unconcerned by the attention it was attracting. Estimates as to its size varied but I guessed at least 6 feet (2 metres), so large that I couldn't get a photo of its whole length.
Also known as Red-tailed Boa or Common Boa. For more information on this snake species see:
