Tree Boa, becoming less common as the local population kill them. They are non venomous.
Ugh! But, I would never kill one. How big are they? What do they eat?
This Grenadian Bank Tree Boa, to give it's full name. Was sunbathing on a dead tree. As I said, they are non Venomous. If annoyed, they will byte, so best not to disturb them. Their first reaction is to get away from you.

The snakes main diet when nearly fully grown, includes rats and mice. Therefore it is a friend and should not be killed as many Grenadians will do.
Rats eat their crops and can spread disease. The poor old Tree Boa does us no harm.
They grow to be about 1 to 1.5 metres in length. Much smaller than their relative, the Boa constrictor (a native of many of the Windward Isles, but not Grenada).
thay also used th bank tree boa,(surpent) for monday morning jovert mass, grenada carnival.
