Sanzinia madagascariensis is the latin. Its not really a tree boa like an Amazon Tree Boa or Emerald Tree Boa. They like to climb but spend more time on the ground. They are about like a Indo tree boa and such.

They are all really calm and sweet. Maybe the most tame snakes I have ever met Their scientific name has been recently changed and is now Boa manditra (former Sanzinia madagascariensis). As babies they are quite arboreal but as they get older (and bigger ) they spend most of their time on the ground. Althought the female has now been spending almost all of her time climbing around. Here is a picture of the smaller male, he is really tiny but I don't think he is all grown up yet.
