Hi and thanks for your reply.
.
I believe most all Boa we see from Peru are Boa c. constrictor or true redtail Boas. Aside from some overt morphology like colour and pattern they are considered the same animal as those found in Suriname and other adjacent locales.
.
Longicauda is considered an animal of the more temperate highlands of the Peru/Ecuador border. Ortoni is the subject of some debate, it may be an intermediate form, but is recognised by those closely familiar with it. Much work is being done now on these. The new book on Boa by Vin Russo will have new photos and info on Orton's boa and it's possible relations..
.
Regards,
