A large, non-venomous constrictor snake belonging to the family Boidae, including pythons, boas, and anacondas.
From the scientific family name Boidae, derived from the Boa genus, with the -id suffix used in biological classification to indicate family membership.
Boids are surprisingly gentle giants—they kill by constriction (squeezing), not venom, and they've been so successful at this strategy that they've barely changed in 60 million years, making them evolutionary superstars.
