YOUNG BOA CONSTRUCTORS.
Must shift For Themselves ~ Soon
as They Are uatched.

Perhaps you do and perhaps you do not
know that the real home land OF the boa
constructors is in the tropical countries.
Mrs. Boa seeks a sandy place When she
has found 1t, she coils herself into great
and almost fiat corkscrew Then by lust
two or three turns Of her body she digs a
shallow hole in the sand. This is her nest
In this hole she lays about "a eggs The
eggs are about as large as those bantam
chickens lay and are dark cream color.
They are oblOng and more the shape of a
pecan than of a hens egg. The shell is
not hard, like a hens egg, but yields to
the pressure of your finger, something
like rubber.
Having laid her eggs in the nest of
sand, the mother boa winds herself into a
perfectly fiat coil, like round mat This
done, she gently pushes waves Of sand
upon the eggs until they are covered from
four to six inches deep. Then she settles
herself upon the top and stays there for 10
days. AT the end of this time n lot of
little snakes may be seen pushing their
way out from the nest and away into the
world TO get their own living. They don't
show bit of affection for their mother or
for each other, but glide away, probably
never to be together again. Is it any
MoHueIi WHEN Iney acb so JlSJ aIter Delng
Matched out, that boa constructors never
like anybody and never have anything to
do with people If they can avoid itg
Each little snake measures from 12 to
Ia inches in length and is about as big
around as lead pencil. 1t is said that
they eat nothing at all during the first six
months of their lives or until they are old
enough to catch and crush to death small
animals and swallow them whole The
boa constructor never bites-it has no
poison fangs-but always kills by coiling
about its victim and crushing 1t to death
Fully grown, the boa constructor is 80 to
40 feet long and as big around as the
large part of a mans leg.
Alligators are other things that are not
"born." An alligator will lay 100 eggs
within the short space of three days
Much in the same way as the boa con
strictor the alligator deposits it's eggs in
the sand and usually leaves them to their
fate. The eggs are soft and about as
large as duck eggs They hatch out in 2l
days The little alligators are five or six
inches long when they come from the
shell. Alligator eggs cannot be kept
They wither and dry to almost nothing
