One word of advice, be VERY careful. Very few locale lines in the US can be proven without a shadow of doubt.

I know of a few lines brought in by universities originally from field collected animals. There are also a few from zoos abroad in the country of origin that bred animals collected within specific regions of the country.

While there are MANY more trustworthy breeders that work with locale animals, I do recommend that you speak with Gus Rentfro of RioBravoReptiles.com and with Kevin Barnett of Ectothermics.com. Both of them are very particular with the animals they work with and have done extensive work to verify their locale animals and have many contacts that would provide useful in learning about locale boas and obtaining ones you are interested in.

Your interest in sabogae is good, but that is one subspecies to be VERY careful with. And I do recommend talking with Kevin for those.
