|appearance=The old design of Amazon Tree Boa has brown hair tied in two long braids. She has a red, black-orange hoodie with the patterns of her animal species. Her hood is similar to other serpentine Friends, with the sole exception being its closed eyes. | |||
She has orange irides with highlights, signaling her animal species is not extinct. | |||
She has a white shirt under her body that transitions into a skirt at the bottom - said skirt covers an additional underskirt, which is yellow. | |||
She has red socks that go above her knees, with the same 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. | |||

The Amazon tree boa's other common names are common tree boa, garden tree boa and macabrel, while its scientific name is ''Corallus hortulana''. It 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 Amazon 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. [[http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/203210/0 1]] | |||
The Amazon tree boa can bear many different colors and patterns. It can be brown-gray, all red or all yellow. Its livery can have several patterns, from big stains to small ones through the lines etc. Some are even without patterns. The Amazon tree boa has long been misclassified and it is for this reason that today many people are still confused. The Amazon tree boa was formerly known as ''Corallus enydris'', and there is still documentation referring to them as such. The worst confusion remains between the Amazon tree boa and the Cook's tree boa. For a long time, the Cook's tree boa was considered a subspecies of the Amazon tree boa. Even today both are often confused. [[http://www.reptilia-forum.com/t626-corallus-hortulanus 2]] | |||
Amazon tree boas have been reported to eat birds, bats, frogs, rodents, lizards, and marsupials. These observations suggest that ''Corallus hortulana'' 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. They can strike at prey that are a surprising distance from themselves. Prey are often pushed off the tree branch as they are struck, in which cases the snake will gather the body in several of its coils. [[http://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Corallus_hortulanus/ 3]] | |||
''Corallus hortulana'' is a notoriously aggressive species. When approached, it bites and makes a s-coil. When manipulated, it may form into a ball, constrict and rotate its body. However these snakes tend to give some warning of being inclined to bite, and will usually give fairly gentle bites (which can still draw blood) unless they are given reason to give a full strike. The Amazon tree boa (like other arboreal snakes) isn't a good pet for those afraid of frequent bites, which can be quite painful if delivered by an adult specimen. | |||
Amazon tree boas have particularly large infrared pits, which allow them to sense heat well. They also have good eyesight that they use to hunt during the day. [[http://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Corallus_hortulanus/ 3]] | |||
Localized threats may exist (such as deforestation, and persecution because the species looks like a viper), but on a range-wide scale, no major threats are known. The species requires trees to persist, so complete deforestation will eliminate the species. [[http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/203210/0 1]] | |||
