Boas move using a form of locomotion called lateral undulation, where they flex their bodies in a series of S-shaped curves. By contracting and relaxing their muscles, they push against surfaces with their scales, allowing them to glide smoothly over various terrains. They can also use other methods like concertina movement in tighter spaces and rectilinear motion when moving slowly or when stalking prey. This versatility in movement helps them navigate their environments effectively.
