Wildlife: Snake - Ground Boa

 

Ground Boa, Lazy Snake, Pygmy Boa – Tropidophis caymanensis parkeri; (Little Cayman)

 

 Called “wood snake” it is similar to the Grand Cayman subspecies except that the scale count differs and the dark lines on the head are interrupted by lighter colour. The ability to bleed from the mouth and eyes by West Indian Tropidophis as a way to discourage predators is well-documented. In the Cayman Islands it has only been observed on Little Cayman.
