English term or phrase: tree boa
Bonjour,

je traduis un texte sur le Roraima et sur sa faune et sa flore.
On parle plusieurs fois de "tree boa", des boas qu'on trouve dans les arbres. Je voulais traduire par "boa arboricole", mais l'un des explorateurs dit qu'il s'agit d'un boa très rare (et qu'il n'en a jamais vu avant, alors qu'il est herpétologiste), donc je me demande s'il n'existe pas un terme français plus spécifique.
