No, it is not made of rubber. Calm down, you can’t buy it on AliExpress either. And you can’t put it on the wheel as a spare tire. Stop making puns about its name, it's not funny anymore.
Okay, something went wrong...
Here! Now everything is correct.
The rubber boa constrictor (or Charina bottae in Latin) is a representative of the pseudopod family and also the closest relative of the common boa constrictor. This miracle is widespread from southwestern Canada to the southern regions of the United States. It is not surprising in size - the length of adults is from 38 to 84 cm, and that of babies is 19–23 cm. The animal feels more like a rubber hose to the touch, which is where the name of the species comes from. The reptile is very secretive. At night it goes out in search of food, and during the day it rests in burrows and crevices. 
Some kind of shallow hose, definitely not suitable for watering.
Being small, calm and non-venomous, the snake is often on the menu of local predators. Despite the fact that it is not so easy to find her, if she is found, the baby always has her physiological cunning at the ready.
The animal has practically no neck, so the head does not stand out much against the background of the body. In case of danger, the snake curls up into a ball and exposes its blunt tail, passing it off as its non-stupid head. 
Covers herself with her butt. Literally.
A stupid predator often falls for this provocation. Without any extra thoughts, the meat-eater grabs the snake by its rubber butt, while the animal’s head remains unharmed. Having successfully deceived the enemy, the Rubber Boa immediately retreats back home, leaving the hungry predator in bewilderment and himself safe and sound.

But the tricks with the tail don’t end there. In addition to various rodents, the Rubber Boa's diet also includes their cubs. A small and nimble snake successfully crawls into the holes of mice, hamsters and rabbits. Usually the dirty business happens when the parent is not in place. But when the mother of the family finds herself in the hole, a life-or-death battle ensues. You may ask, how does such a small snake fight off its angry mother? Now, pay attention! He curls his TAIL INTO A FIST AND BOXES WITH IT! 
Became a boxer without having a single arm. And you keep making excuses!
Let's talk about reproduction.
These snakes are viviparous and can give birth to up to 9 cubs per year. But most females breed every four years. It is customary for boa constrictor boys to go in search of their passion soon after emerging from spring hibernation. The babies themselves are born between August and November of the same year. Boas are born pink, but darken to brown/black as they age. 
Don't worry, you'll soon be big and black
The body is elongated without limbs. Body length from 10 cm to 12 m.
Snakes differ from legless lizards by the movable connection of the left and right parts of the jaws (which makes it possible to swallow prey whole), the absence of movable eyelids and eardrums, and the absence of a shoulder girdle.
The teeth are sharp and thin, attached to the edges of the jaw bones or connected to the jaw using special ligaments. Poisonous snakes have large, sharp, back-curved poisonous teeth. Such teeth have a groove on the front surface or an internal channel through which the poison enters the wound when bitten. In viper snakes, due to the mobility of the shortened maxillary bones, the poisonous teeth can rotate 90°. Poisonous teeth in some cases (in Gaboon viper) reach a length of up to 4.5 cm.
Snakes are distinguished by a large number of vertebrae (from 200 to 450).
The eyes are protected by peculiar “lenses” - fused transparent eyelids. There are no external ears, but snakes sense vibrations from the ground and sounds in a fairly narrow range of frequencies.
Compared to other reptiles, snakes have the most developed organ of thermal sensitivity, which is located on the facial fossa between the eye and nose on each side of the head. In pit snakes, thermolocators can even determine the direction of the source of thermal radiation. At the same time, they perceive infrared radiation emanating from surrounding objects not as electromagnetic waves, but as heat.
Snakes are mainly terrestrial, but some species live underground, in water, and in trees. When advancing unfavorable conditions For example, as a result of cold weather, snakes hibernate.
All famous snakes- predators. They feed on a variety of animals: vertebrates and invertebrates. There are species of snakes that specialize in eating a certain type of prey, for example, the crayfish snake (Regina rigida) feeds almost exclusively on crayfish, and egg snakes (Dasypeltis) feed only on bird eggs.
Non-venomous snakes swallow their prey alive (for example, snakes) or pre-kill it by squeezing it with their jaws and pressing their body to the ground (slender snakes) or suffocating it in body coils (boas and pythons). Poisonous snakes They kill prey by injecting poison into its body using specialized poison-conducting teeth.
Snakes typically swallow their prey whole. The swallowing mechanism consists of alternating movement of the right and left halves of the lower jaw (the snake, as it were, pulls itself onto the prey).
Most snakes reproduce by laying eggs. But some species are ovoviviparous or viviparous.

IN Lately snakes are gaining more and more popularity among exotic lovers. People are learning to keep and breed in captivity increasingly complex and rare species, and among simple and popular species, breeders have managed to secure many color variations (morphs). With such a choice, everyone can find a snake to their liking.
Snakes for Beginners
If you are determined to get a snake, but don’t know which one, we will try to bring you closer to a decision. There are two families of non-venomous snakes that are widely distributed in captivity - the colubrid family and the pseudopod family. Let's see how they differ:
Colubridae - a huge family of snakes, including all snakes and snakes. Most colubrids have a slender, elongated body; they are fast and fussy. Average size: from 80 to 250 cm. If you have always wanted a small, slender snake 100-130 cm long, this is the ideal choice. Among such snakes one can note corn snakes, Amur snakes, king snakes and milk snakes.
Pseudophods - a family that includes pythons and boas. They got their name because of the small claws next to the cloaca - vestigial limbs. Pseudophods, unlike colubrids, are more massive, measured and slow. Their sizes range on average from 120 cm to 5-7 meters. Therefore, if you think that the snake should be large, imperial or rainbow boas are perfect for you, tiger pythons– these snakes grow up to 2-4 meters. And for those who want to have a smaller python, royal pythons are suitable, growing up to 150-170 cm.
Terrarium: For terrestrial snakes, a horizontal terrarium is used, and the optimal length is considered to be half the length of the snake, and the depth of the terrarium is a third of the length of the snake; height is not so important. One corner of the terrarium is made with local heating; in the rest of the terrarium the temperature is maintained almost at room temperature. A spacious drinking bowl is placed in a cold corner, into which the snake fits completely. Can be used as a primer paper towels, coconut chips, pine or larch bark, sphagnum moss.
Feeding: All snakes, without exception, are predators. Many of them in captivity feed on rodents (mice, rats). The size of the rodent is chosen as follows: the thickness of the mouse should be equal to the thickest part of the snake.
Water and humidity: The water in the drinking bowl should be changed 2-3 times a week. The soil can be sprayed 2-3 times a week.
As you can see, keeping snakes is much simpler than it seems at first glance. It takes about 15 minutes and 100 rubles a week to care for one snake.

Habitat rubber snake: Southwest Canada, USA.
Rubber snake- one of the smallest representatives of the boa constrictor subfamily. This creature got its name due to its loose and wrinkled skin, consisting of tiny scales. Externally, the snake is very similar to an olive-colored rubber toy. live rubber boas in small bushes, coniferous forests and spacious meadows. These snakes are carnivorous. They feed on small rodents, salamanders and birds. Hiding under a stone or snag, these predators can track their prey for hours. The favorite delicacy of these creatures are small rodents. Often boa constrictors destroy their burrows and eat not only young animals, but also adults. The character of these scaly creatures is quite calm; they never bite and rarely show aggression. Even when experiencing fear, these amphibians do not attack, but simply shrink into a dense ball. IN Everyday life These little ones are inactive; even if a snake falls into human hands, it may not move for several hours. Rubber snakes often used to overcome herpetophobia (fear of snakes) in humans. Like many other snakes, rubber boa constrictor is a viviparous creature. During the year, from 7 to 9 individuals are born. Mating begins immediately after hibernation, and already at the beginning of autumn small boas are born.
The closest relative of boas and anacondas, the rubber snake (lat. Charina bottae) – one of the “shortest” representatives of her family. Its dense, brownish-olive body grows only 60 cm, while its cousin, the common anaconda, can reach ten meters in length.
Rubber snakes live in coniferous forests, grasslands and scrublands in the western United States and Canada. Hiding under bark, fallen leaves or logs, they patiently track down prey - small rodents, birds, salamanders, and look for the eggs of other snakes.
One of their favorite pastimes is to destroy rodent burrows. If a rubber snake finds a hole with a brood, then no one will be able to escape: first it will eat the offspring, repelling the mother’s attacks with its thick tail, and then the mother herself, pulling her out with the same tail.
Being very calm by nature, rubber snakes never attempt to bite. Knowing this quality, people use them to help others overcome their fear of snakes. Unlike their relatives, rubber snakes, even when defending themselves, do not try to attack. Instead, they secrete a foul-smelling liquid from the anus to repel the offender.
If you lift a rubber snake with your hand, it will carefully wrap itself around your wrist and hang there for about an hour until it comes to your mind that it’s time to leave. Even when full and in good mood, these snakes crawl slowly and carefully.
Rubber snakes can slowly move in the water, raising their heads high up, but they cannot be called skilled swimmers.
