We just learned about the Green Tree Python.
Another type of snake is the Emerald Tree Boa.
This snake looks and acts a lot like the Green Tree Python, but they are from totally different parts of the world, and they are not the same snake.
The Emerald Tree Boa is from South America, and the Green Tree Python is from Indonesia and Australia.
They both live in trees, grow to about the same size, attack their prey by wrapping their bodies around them, and they even coil themselves up in trees the same way.
If you found one of these snakes in the wild, it would be really tough to tell which type it was!
A few differences are that the Emerald Tree Boa has large fangs and eats birds, and the boa has live snake babies, while the python lays eggs.
