Bunny Watson shares what you need to know about Boa Constrictors

(NECN) – It’s a powerful snake, but also a popular pet.

The Boa Constrictor can grow to almost 13 feet in length and can weigh up to 60 pounds.

Sure there are smaller variations, but most people would agree, the boa is big and so is the responsibility that comes with owning and taking care of one.

Joining Vicki Croke to share more is Bunny Watson.

Bunny is the live animal curator at the Museum of Science in Boston.
