>>Hi everybody! >>
Hi Sonja!
Nice to see you on this forum, although it's really slow these days. I'm no expert, but your snake looks like what many call a E. crassus (or E. c. crassus.) It looks nothing like my Argentinian Rainbow boa (C. alvarezi) or any Argentinian I've seen pictures of. I don't get too hung up on taxonomy, though, since these mainland Epicrates have such a wide range and there is a lot of variation, and Paraguay and Argentina are next to each other. And the taxonomists keep changing the classifications. But again, your snake doesn't look like an Argentinian, so I would agree with you. It's a really gorgeous rainbow boa, whatever it is!!
How are your Bahama boas doing? Post some pictures if you get a chance!
Thanks, Ed
