For many people, Brazil is associated with soccer, endless beaches and wild monkeys. But this South American country is also famous for its untouched and beautiful nature with its unique flora and fauna.
Most of the territory of the country is not inhabited, many residents live in small towns and cities in close proximity to wild and not always friendly nature. Residents of remote areas often keep huge snakes as pets.
Favourite pet
Many people around the world are crazy about these reptiles and keep them as pets out of love and admiration for them. Brazilians, on the other hand, have a different situation; they breed large snakes not for the love of unusual animals, but for completely different reasons.
The tradition of using boas as pets was started by the indigenous people. Today, it has been successfully adopted by the modern inhabitants of Brazil, who willingly share their home with the scaly ones.
Little boas that were brought into the house at a very young age are very used to their new habitat. In nature, the life cycle of a boa constrictor is limited to about 10 years, with people these animals can live much longer, on average, the life of domesticated boas is doubled and usually reaches 25 years.
double benefit
There are many types of poisonous snakes in Brazil, most of which are deadly to humans. Here live rattlesnakes and coral snakes, zhararak and other dangerous reptiles for local residents.
Creeping reptiles practically do not visit large cities, but rural residents often meet them face to face. And in most cases, such meetings end badly for a person. Snakes, like most animals in the wild, share territories where non-poisonous individuals live, poisonous snakes practically do not appear.
In the Brazilian forests there are relatively small boas that do not exceed 4 meters in length. Boas get used to sharing territory with a person and do not show aggression towards him. The human home becomes their territory, the boundaries of which they no longer dare violate another snake.
It is for this reason that villagers keep boas as pets. This is the most effective way to protect your home from poisonous snake intrusions. Boas, in addition to protecting against dangerous reptiles, also effectively exterminate annoying rodents.
