[ev477]

Yes! http://centralpets.com/php/search/st....php?Story=321

Google helps with these types of questions
and do yo mean Emerald Tree boas?

[DutchHerp]

Of course there's a difference.

Boas are viviparous and live in Latin America.

Pythons are oviparous and live in Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.

There are many other differences.

Actually, common names don't matter, so the name is Corallus caninus.

I'm just being an ass, though.

they are hugely different!! emeralds have huge heads when compared to green trees.

Huge differences. I must agree that to someone not much of an enthusiast they are similar. To us who know both species well they are much different.

First is a googled picture of an ETB

googled picture of a GTP

The next big difference you will hear is teeth size. The ETB has fang-like teeth. In that the front two top teeth (an bottom) are MUCH larger than a normal snake with large teeth in the front and gradually smaller as the mouth goes back.

both images googled

Most of the differences really are just the differences in pythons and boas though. Both of these snakes perch in the same matter and green. ETBs have a much longer head (and it's slightly curved) the labial pits are bit and on top of the mouth. Green trees have 5 to 6 (if I counted my guys right with him moving) and are on the lower jaw. Emeralds then to have "flags" that I have never seen on a green tree python. Also size difference is obvious when looking at two full grown adults.

Now there are two! Corallus caninus, Northern types and Corallus batesii, Amazon Basin types.
