Boa Constrictors are very large snakes with strong, muscular bodies. They use their strength to overpower & coil around their prey, squeezing until they are ready to consume. When ready to eat their deceased prey, Boa Constrictors, like all snakes, do not chew their food, but swallow the entire animal whole. Female Boa Constrictors are almost always much larger than males, & this species is not egg-laying, but gives birth to anywhere from 10 to 60 live young.
