Crawl Cay Boa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The crawl cay boa is a dwarf snake species that reach a maximum of size of about 5 feet. Characteristics of this snake are the very gray background colour with black speckling which is also on the head. The snakes have saddling like the common boa which continue onto the tail.[1]

Their natural habitat is the island by which they are named after, Crawl Cay (pronounced /ˈkiː/). Crawl Cay is off the east coast of Belize. Crawl Cay, a half mooned shaped cay five acres in size, is part of the Turneff Island Archipelago. Collecting snakes is prohibited as the Turneff Archipelago is now a National Reserve.[2]
