It was rapped around an electrical wire. I grabbed it with my snake tongs to identify it. I set it on the ground while I got my camera and got some pictures. Unfortunately it was very vicious, and with the cat eyes and the triangle shaped head I thought it was poisonous, so I had it killed. Only later did I see the grooves on the side of the mouth identifying it as a Tree Boa.
This is the Local Chivi's Race Possibly a different species.

I have one family group living at the base in Puraquequara, and I often see another at Parque Mindu where I took this picture.
We have a lot of grass on the property, and on some mornings I find them on the soccer field.
They usually don't hang around for long though.
This seems to be a refuge spot for the species. I see it out on main rivers where the lights from the boats pick up their eye shine, but if you want to see them in manaus got to Parque Mindu.
