Boa constrictor

Boa Constrictors are large snakes that can be found in the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. On June 23, 1991, Parselmouth Harry Potter spoke to a boa constictor from Brazil through underage magic. He accidentally freed the boa and helped it go to Brazil, while trapping his cousin inside the pen that was holding the giant snake.
