Appearance
Amazon Tree Boa has brown hair tied in two long braids. She has a red, blackorange hoodie with the patterns off her animal species. The hood, like other serpentine Friends, has 'eyes' on it, however in Boa's case these are closed. She has orange irides with highlights, signaling her animal species is not extinct. She has a white shirt under her body that turns into a skirt at the bottom - said skirt covers another one, which is yellow. She has red socks that go above her knees, witht he some pattern as her hoodie, and yellow boots. Like other Friends, she has traits of her animal on her otherwise human body - in her case, that's the tail of an amazon tree boa.

In Real Life
The Amazon tree boa also known as Corallus hortulanus for his scientific name or common tree boa, garden tree boa, macabrel and Cook's tree boa as common names, is a non-venomous boa species found in South America. No subspecies are currently recognized.
This species has one of the widest ecological niches of any Amazonian snake. This arboreal snake inhabits the lower humid forest and flooded forest of the Amazonia as well as in gallery forests, and it can occur in disturbed areas and even in houses located next to forest patches. Amazon tree boas are also relatively common along rivers. [1]
The Amazon tree boa is probably the snake with the most colors and different patterns. it can be brown-gray, all red or all yellow. His livery can have several patterns, from big stains to small ones through the lines etc. Some are even without patterns. The Amazonian boa has long been misclassified and it is for this reason that today many people are still confused. Formerly, the Amazon tree boa was called Corallus enydris, there is still documentation that speaks of the boa amazon this way. The worst confusion remains between the Amazon tree boa and the cook boa. For a long time, the cook boa was considered a subspecies of the Amazon tree boa. Even today both are often confused. [2]
Amazon tree boas have been reported to eat: birds, bats, frogs, rodents, lizards, and marsupials. These observations suggest that Corallus hortulanus has a broad diet of mainly vertebrate prey. Amazon tree boas hunt at night using their infrared sensitivity or during the day using vision. They are typically ambush hunters, sitting on a branch with the front part of their body hanging in an S-shaped curve from the branch.
