This baby Puertorican boa surprised, startled and delighted the personnel of the Puertorican Parrot project by spending the day wrapped around the rails of one of the paths in the aviary. It was quite festy and would try to bite if someone got too close. It provided me with a rare occasion to use my 100mm macro lens on an animal. After I took a number of photos gently but firmly, I coaxed the snake to leave the rail and to move to the vegetation. The little snake eventually slithered down the rail and moved away. I did this at night fall so that it would not fall prey to daytime predators.
