FAQs

Is a boa considered a reptile?

Yes, a boa is considered a reptile. Specifically, boa constrictors belong to the class Reptilia and the family Boidae, which includes large, nonvenomous snakes.

Can a boa constrictor hurt a human?

A boa constrictor can hurt a human by constriction if it feels threatened or provoked, as they kill prey by wrapping around and squeezing. However, attacks on humans are very rare and boas are generally not aggressive unless mishandled or feeling endangered.

Do snakes count as reptiles?

Yes, snakes are reptiles. They belong to the order Squamata, which includes lizards and snakes, with boas being a genus within this order.

How aggressive are boa constrictors?
