Corallus caninus, commonly known as the Emerald Tree Boa, and Corallus batesii, known as the Amazon Basin Emerald Tree Boa, are non-venomous snakes found in the rainforests of South America. Both species are arboreal, exhibit striking green coloration with white dorsal markings, and possess prehensile tails for climbing. They play a key role in controlling rodent populations. Notably, Corallus batesii is distinguished by its larger size and more distinct pattern compared to Corallus caninus.

Corallus caninus and Corallus batesii, commonly known as the emerald tree boa and Amazon basin emerald tree boa respectively, are native to the neotropical rainforests of South America. Corallus caninus is predominantly found in the northern part of the continent, including countries like Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and northern Brazil. On the other hand, Corallus batesii is found primarily in the Amazon Basin, covering areas in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia.

Both species inhabit humid, lowland rainforests characterized by dense canopy cover, high humidity, and temperatures generally ranging from 24°C to 30°C (75°F to 86°F). These environments provide the necessary moisture and warmth that these arboreal snakes require.

Corallus caninus and Corallus batesii occupy a specialized niche as arboreal predators, spending most of their lives in the trees. They are adept climbers and are primarily nocturnal, hunting small mammals, birds, and occasionally lizards using ambush tactics. Their vibrant green coloration provides excellent camouflage among the foliage, aiding in both predation and avoidance of predators.
