Yesterday my mom was reading a book in the terraze of our house. She was alone... at least she thought so. Suddenly the character which you see in the picture appeared in front of her. She called our town's 911 and in a couple of minutes Mr. Navia appeared to save the day.
It is a kind of Boa called in Colombia Boa Ranera. Its not poisonous but it can strangle someone pretty badly (constrictor). Boas are named after cows (bos) because of the old myth that boa snakes pursue cows and suckle them until they are drained to death (www.wikipedia.org). They can be found mainly in Colombia, Suriname, Bolivia, Peru, Hog Island, Long Tail Peru and Argentine.
