The emerald boa will have to change to survive climate change. Its green color is good for the rainforest environment but if the forest becomes more grassy and open, the emerald boa is going to have to change. The snake will still try to find branches to wrap itself around but its color will have to change to look more like the sky. If the boa is colored more like the sky, predators and prey will not see the snake as well. This will be an advantage as less rainforest will mean there is less food around.
