Well said!
To my understanding Peruvian Boas have a different latin name (Boa Consticor Longicauda/or/ Ortoni-depending on literature and maybe sub area of Peru). They also have a unique scale count and the saddles are different from the Surinames. There are of course some minor variations that will occur among individuals.
It is good to look at a lot of them too. See the ads in the Classifieds here this site for examples. There may be some BCC from Peru but I think that may be dubious, as I had some Anacondas from San Francisco! (Joke!). True also that there will always be some smart alec to challenge every detail but in general true Peruvian boas are their own subspecies. I hope this helps!
