Кубанска боа (Chilabothrus angulifer) спаѓа во групата на змии. Засега не се издвоени подвидови.[3]
Нејзиниот дом се наоѓа на островот Куба и се среќава по места каде што има пештери. Зимата ја минува спиејќи во нив, иако зимите на Куба се прилично благи. Покрај со лилјаци, кои се нејзина основна храна, кубанската боа се храни и со мали птици кои ги лови по дрвјата. Женката раѓа живи малечки, кои веднаш излегуваат од порозните кесиња. Во една група обично има до 10 мали змии. Денес, овој вид змии е меѓународно заштитен вид.[4]

The Cuban boa (Chilabothrus angulifer),[1][3] also known as the Cuban tree boa[4] and by locals as maja de Santa María, is a very large species of snake in the family Boidae. With lengths exceeding 5 m (16 ft) and a relatively heavy build, the Cuban boa is one of the largest snakes in the world. The species is native to Cuba and some nearby islands. No subspecies are currently recognized.
The genus name Chilabothrus is from the Greek cheilos, meaning "lip", á "without" and bothros "pits".[5] The specific name originates from the Latin word angirlus, meaning "angle", probably in reference to the angular shapes of the main elements of the dorsal pattern.[6]
C. angulifer is found in Cuba and on adjacent islands, including Isla de la Juventud (formerly called the Isle of Pines), the Canarreos Archipelago (the Cayo Cantiles), the Colorados Archipelago off the northern coast of Pinar del Río, the Sabana-Camagüey Archipelago (Cayo Guajaba and Cayo Sant María). The type locality given is "Cuba".[2][3]
The preferred natural habitat of C. angulifer is forest of several varieties (rainforest, cloud forest, evergreen forest, semi-deciduous forest, thorn forest, coastal scrub forest), at altitudes from sea level to 1,214 m (3,983 ft). It has also been found in sugar cane plantations.[1]
The presence of labial pits, the shortest tail of the entire genus and supralabials separated from the eye result in the Cuban boa being the least derived species of the genus Chilabothrus.[5] It is also the largest member of Chilabothrus. The Cuban boa has a quite massive body, of a size typical for a boa or python of far greater length.[7]
C. angulifer is a largest snake in the Cuba and the West Indies, with specimens exceeding 5 m (16 ft) in length and 30 kg (66 lb) in weight.[8] The largest individual measured 5.65 m (18.5 ft) long and estimated at more than 40 kg (88 lb) in mass.[8] Gundlach (1875, 1880) stated that he had seen individuals of about 6.4 m (21 ft) in total length.[7] He also mentioned about one large individual kept in captivity by him had length of 4.57 m (15.0 ft) and collected at the Zapata Swamp, Matanzas Province.[7] Rodríguez (1876) commented that the largest specimens able grow up to 5.49 m (18.0 ft) long and 25–28 cm (9.8–11.0 in) in diameter.[7] However, in average C. angulifer reaches 3.66 m (12.0 ft) in total length.[7]
Coloration brown with a pattern of staggered dark brown rhombic spots. Dorsal pattern of 42–65 appressed, angulate, dark brown to black markings on a yellowish to yellow-tan ground, but often (western Cuba) without any dark colors in dorsal pattern, and pattern composed of indeterminate number of medium brown to pale tan, much-fused markings; tail patternless above, or with up to 12 darker dorsal markings.[3]
C. angulifer possesses dorsal scale rows at midbody 53–69; ventral scales 272–292 in males, 268–290 in females; subcaudal scales 45–55 in males, 46–54 in females; ventrals + subcaudals 321–347 in males, 316–339 in females; supralabial scales separated from eye; head scale formula* 3–3–4.[3] C. angulifer is different from most other species of the genus in that the is usually completely separated from supralabials by a row of lorilabials and few subcaudals.[5]
Despite their large size, Cuban boas are semi-arboreal and climb fairly well.[5] They are usually solitary, sometimes intersecting during the mating season.
C. angulifer is a terrestrial apex predator in Cuba along with the Cuban crocodile and carnivorous birds.[8] Depending on age, size and health, prey can range from anurans, lizards, snakes, turtles, aquatic birds (Gruiformes), free-ranging raptors (Accipitriformes, Cathartiformes), forest birds (Columbiformes, Cuculiformes, Passeriformes), caged birds (Columbiformes, Galliformes, Falconiformes, Passeriformes, Psittaciformes), free-ranging poultry (Anseriformes, Galliformes), bats, bovids, pigs, carnivores, rabbits, hutias and rats. As a result of data from the literature and field studies, 351 prey items were recorded in 49 different taxa obtained from 218 snakes. Warm-blooded (mammals and birds) made up 96%, while cold-blooded (reptiles and amphibians) only 4%. Mammals made up 54.7% of the total prey items consumed, followed by birds (41.3%), while amphibians (2%) and reptiles (2%) made up only a small part of the diet.[8] The prey species most frequently consumed were domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) (24.8%), Desmarest's hutias (Capromys pilorides) (14.5%), two bat species (Jamaican fruit-eating bat, Artibeus jamaicensis: 8.8%; Cuban flower bat, Phyllonycteris poeyi: 6.0%), and black rats (Rattus rattus) (7.7%).
C. angulifer is viviparous.[1][3] Females are biennial breeders and take five or more years to mature. Mating season is normally April though June.[5] Males will mate every year and engage in ritualized combat. Size, not age, determines the female's ability to reproduce. Gestation in the wild is typically 150–180 days.[5] Gestation length appears to reflect the temperatures the females are exposed to while gravid. Parturition normally takes place in September and October. Litter sizes range from 2–22 young in the wild. There appears to be a correlation between the size of the female and litter/neonate size: the larger the female the larger the litters and babies.[5] Neonatal C. angulifer are among the largest within the family (505–646 mm SVL, 80–237 g). Only neonatal Boa constrictor and Eunectes murinus are of comparable sizes.[8]
C. angulifer reaches maturation for breeding at three years old for males, and five years old for females. Captive snakes reach breeding maturity at larger sizes than non-captive snakes.[9]
In the wild, Cuban boas can live in excess of 30 years. Although the reproductive potential is still poorly understood, long term studies are quantifying the missing or inconclusive data. In captivity, specimens continuously reproduced at the age of 30 plus years.[5]
C. angulifer was classified as "Least Concern" (LC) in 2021.[1]

El majá de Santa María, boa cubana o boa arbórea cubana[2] (Chilabothrus angulifer)[3] es una boa endémica de Cuba de gran tamaño que lleva el apodo de majá al llamarse así en Cuba a cualquier boa y además el lugar donde habita específicamente esa especie. No se reconocen subespecies.[4]
Especie clasificada como de NT (Riesgo bajo), pero cerca de calificar para Vulnerable (VU), en la IUCN Lista Roja de Especies Amenazadas (v2.3, 1994).[2] Año de ajuste: 1996.[5]
Es un animal enorme de hasta 6 m de largo, lo que la hace el bóido más grande de las Antillas. Tiene una cabeza redonda y un cuerpo largo y grueso, de color marrón con algunas manchas. No es venenosa.
Al igual que otras boas es una magnífica cazadora. Estrangula a su víctima con sus potentes músculos, típicos. Luego la traga desmontando su mandíbula y sin masticarla. Es digerida luego de mucho tiempo.

Il boa di Cuba (Chilabothrus angulifer Cocteau e Bibron, 1840) è un serpente della famiglia dei Boidi.[2]
È la specie maggiore, quanto a dimensioni, del genere Chilabothrus, diffuso in America centrale e meridionale e nelle isole caraibiche. Può infatti raggiungere i 4 metri e mezzo di lunghezza, misura decisamente notevole per un appartenente alla sottofamiglia dei Boini. La colorazione, come per altri Chilabothrus, abbonda di riflessi metallici sulle squame; il colore di fondo è grigio-argenteo sparso di macchie e striature bruno-rossastre e nere.
Vive a Cuba e nell'Isola della Gioventù. Gran parte del suo habitat originario, la foresta pluviale, è stata distrutta per far posto alle colture di canna da zucchero, dove si è in effetti marginalmente stabilito.
I boa di Cuba si nutrono di roditori e uccelli, ma oggi prevalentemente di ratti e topi, che insidiano fin nei pressi delle abitazioni e nei coltivi. Attendono la preda in agguato, scattando fulminei non appena a tiro; l'avviluppano poi con le spire per ucciderla prima di ingollarla. Sono serpenti molto attivi e necessitano di ampie zone di alimentazione; sono soprattutto diurni, salvo che nei mesi estivi, quando sono attivi di notte e trascorrono il giorno ben nascosti nell'intrico della vegetazione. Ovovivipari, le femmine «partoriscono», dopo circa 3 mesi di gestazione, 15 - 20 piccoli di 39 - 59 centimetri. Questi già a 3 anni superano i 150 cm e raggiungono la maturità sessuale.

Jego długość dochodzi do 4,50 m (przeważnie jest to jednak ok. 3 m). Ubarwienie żółte, po oliwkowe, z nieregularnymi, szerokimi, ciemnobrązowymi po czarne pasami poprzecznymi, które jednak często są na tyle poprzerywane i niespójne, że występują jedynie w postaci niewyraźnej sieci. Wąż zajmuje różnorodne środowiska: lasy liściaste, zarośnięte tereny kamieniste i skaliste. Spotykany także na plantacjach trzciny cukrowej, a nawet na przedmieściach większych miast. Także w jamach i wśród półek skalnych. Aktywny o zmierzchu i nocą. Odżywia się głównie gryzoniami i pisklętami.
Okres godowy węża boa przypada na marzec-kwiecień. Rodzi się ok. 30 sztuk żywych młodych. W chwili urodzenia młode węże mierzą od 60 do 70 cm.
