    Wild, climbing Suri.

    I always enjoy seeing these guys in the wild, doing what they do.

    I don't think there is any question as to whether or not boa constrictors are semi arboreal. Though "classed" as a terrestrial species, I've seen more than enough scenes like this that show them in the canopy.

    Not just the little ones either.

    Check out this short video of a very pretty, wild Suri.

    That is one gorgeous Boa.

    There is no doubt that they are semi arboreal in my mind. Most of the videos that I see of them in the wild they are in trees. When guys are hunting for them they are always looking up in the trees, and the same for Retics as well.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    Sweet vid! I'd love to see them in the wild. Nice Boa Reinz! When I was a kid I used to have camo netting hanging from my ceiling and walls and my boa used to climb all over it. I wish there had been dig cams back then. lol
