Boa, Python and Viper: Three Snakes With Striking Patterns
You may love snakes or fear them, but their colors and patterns are astonishingly varied. Reptile keepers will recognize these names, and everyone else will have a hard time not admiring these three species.
The red-tailed boa gets its name from the reddish markings toward its tail.
The red-tailed boa is one of the best-known boas in the reptile hobby. Dark 'saddle' blotches run along a lighter body and turn reddish toward the tail, which gives the snake its name.
It is a non-venomous constrictor and is often kept by experienced reptile enthusiasts.
The ball python is smaller and calmer than many of its relatives.
The ball python is a small python known for its calm temperament, which has made it one of the most popular pet snakes.
It gets its English name from its habit of curling into a tight ball when threatened, with its head tucked safely inside.
The Gaboon viper: a pattern like a painting and the longest fangs of any snake.
A geometric pattern in beige, brown and purple tones makes the Gaboon viper look like an abstract painting. Among fallen leaves in the forests and savannas of sub-Saharan Africa, that pattern works as excellent camouflage.
Beautiful, but dangerous
The Gaboon viper is venomous and holds a record: its fangs, about 5 cm long, are the longest of any snake.
