Can you identify this boa? I was told it was a rainbow boa.

as long as you like her Bro, you got a good deal! I have traded higher end snakes for a snake in lower value because I wanted it. Its a win - win situation!

As a side note, what does you username mean????

Not a red tail and not a rainbow... a common boa IMO.

Not a rainbow thats for sure.

I dont think its a common Columbian either, but I could be wrong.

Id guess its one of these weird locality boas. Back in the day we used to call those dark boas that stayed kinda small Argentine Boas. Im sure thats not what they are called now.

We need a boa guru in this thread!

I know you guys are out there! Help!

Common boa?? Maybe some sorta argentine cross maybe??? Not a Rainbow or a pure argentine that's for sure.

Well, I played EverQuest 2. I was a gnome conjy. Micro = Short and DDot = Double damage over time

And now i use the name almost everywhere and dont play anymore.

Is his belly that color normally or is he goin' through a shed? Rainbow boa was a flat lie, but if you like him it was worth a couple normal balls.

Looks like it's going through a shed - I bet it's not that dark when it comes out.

I'm going to second that argentine cross idea. thought they usually don't turn out that brownish muddy color. but definitely not pure argentine, a nice looking argentine should be jet black with white speckles. but the multitude of spots the way they are on the belly make me think there is argentine.

Looks like an average Nicaraguan Boa to me. Definitely CA though. The long slender build gives it away.

Looks CA to me too. May be a Nicaraguan, but it is definitely a CA of some sort. It's not an argentine cross, from what I see.

looks like a nicaraguan/central american dwarf boa - CA for sure!

It isn't a Rainbow, but it doesn't look like a pure of anything. It kinda looks like a Tarahumara but it's too big to be that. Maybe it's a cross?

Looks like a grown up, darker version of this to me...

That's a farmed, imported Nicaraguan neonate above, they tend to darken with maturity, and end up looking just about like yours does there. But there are some examples that are way above the average.

I still say Nic.

No doubt is a Nicaraguan,doesn't look crossed with anything.Looks to be well into its 4th year as far has age.
FWIW,
I wouldnt be trusting that new arrival so soon,Central forms are well known for unprovoked nips to human flesh.
