Sanzinia madagascariensis, commonly known as the Malagasy Tree Boa, is a non-venomous snake endemic to Madagascar. Its striking green coloration with iridescent scales allows it to blend seamlessly into the canopy. Nocturnal and arboreal, it preys on birds and small mammals, playing a crucial role in controlling these populations.

Sanzinia madagascariensis, commonly known as the Madagascar tree boa, is native to the island of Madagascar. It is found throughout the island, with a distribution that includes both the eastern rainforests and the drier western regions.

The species inhabits a variety of environments, from the humid and dense rainforests of the eastern part of Madagascar to the drier, more open deciduous forests in the west. The climate in its habitat ranges from tropical and humid in the east to more seasonal and semi-arid in the west.

Sanzinia madagascariensis primarily occupies arboreal niches, where it is well adapted to living in trees. It is a nocturnal predator that feeds on birds, small mammals, and occasionally reptiles. The species shows a preference for areas with adequate cover and a good supply of prey, utilizing both natural and human-modified landscapes like plantations and secondary forests.
