Rosy Boa (Charina trivirgata)

The rosy boa is known for its brillant red coloring. This serpent grows to 39in in length and it lives in the rocky deserts of Arizona and California. They are most active at night so they can avoid the scorching sun. They hunt rodents and small birds while exploring tunnels. Like all constrictors the rosy boa kill there prey by squeezing them to death with their muscular coils.
