I just got bit by one on the finger this morning. It left two tiny holes that bled. Two holes on the top and two almost holes on the bottom of my finger. The teeth marks were close together. Not the normal scratched multi-hole appearance that you get from a regular boa bite.
yes apparently any kind of boa chokes and their all related to an anaconda
EDIT: No, not in the stereotypical sense. Sand boas (I imagine you are referring to the Kenyan sand boa) max out around 2 ft. and don't have the stereotypical widened jaw. My sand boa is a 3 year old male that just reached 1 1/2 ft.
Any of the one I have had any knowledge or are not, they kill their prey by constricting it to death.
No. In fact there are no venomous Boas at all.
No, they are a constrictor. All boas are constrictors.
No. Boas are nonvenomous. They have teeth, but not fangs.
Yes. Sand boas are vertebrates as are all snakes.
They don't have any fangs, they have rows of small and sharp teeth.
Boas mouths are lined with rows of sharp backward curving teeth that allow them to grip their prey. They don't have fangs. Only venomous snakes have fangs.
dessert
I say that some types of birds eat Sand Boas
Dry places in middle east
20 years or longer
No. Boas are constrictors and kill their prey via suffocation.
It depends what kind of boa. Red tailed boas reaches 7 ft or so sand boas reaches only 32 inches. Hope this answers your question.
Boas in general are not close to extinction by any means, but some specific ones like a subspecies of Sand boa (don't remember off the top of my head) are endangered).
Some do. The sand boa (all subspecies) is a burrower along with Rosy boas and some others. The Red tail boa (which is probably what you're thinking of) is semi arboreal to arboreal and does not burrow.
