The term 'constricting snake' refers to two species of snakes, the BOA and the PYTHON. Boas are a group of non-venomous snakes found in tropical and subtropical regions of Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. Pythons are a group of non-venomous snakes found in Africa, Asia, and Australia. Both species are known for their constricting behavior, where they wrap their bodies around their prey and squeeze until the prey suffocates.
