Suriname, Guyana, Peruvian and such boas are local specific boas they can get much larger than your average colombian boa in most cases. If you look at them all long enough you will see that they are quite different.

Hets are boas that come from a morph type trait (like albino) they look normal but carry the albino gene. So if bred with another het albino or albino can produce albinos.

Hypos are a morph type that has reduced black pigment and more reds, oranges, pinks, etc.. There is no "het hypo" in the sence that if a boa is a hypo it is a visual hypo. There is no normal colored boa that can produce the hypo morph.

hope that helps.
