Island boas are found off the coast of Belize. The boas on these cays (pronounced "keys") are dwarfed in size compared to boas on the adjacent mainland.
The Fer del lance (Bothrops asper), locally called the Yellow-jaw tommygoff, is also found in Belize. These snakes have been referred to as the "ultimate pit viper". This species is the main cause of snakebite incidents within the Central and northern South America. It is considered to be the 7th most toxic snakes in the world.

Because land snakes cannot cross wide areas of ocean, some islands did not have snakes until they arrived with humans. When these islands separated from a landmass, the niche of the reptiles was filled by some other animal, such as large birds. Other islands were formed offshore by volcanoes, and while birds could get there, most reptiles and mammals could not. Notably free of native snakes are New Zealand, Ireland, Iceland, and islands in the Arctic, Antarctic, and remote regions of the other oceans.
