Imperator and constrictor are both subspecies of Boa constrictor. B.c.imperator and B.c.constrictor. I just added the locality type to more clearly state what they were. Not saying Peruvians or Colombians are subspecies, I'm saying imperator and constrictor are subspecies, Colombian and Peruvian are the locality types in question for each of the respective subspecies. Given the variability among locales of constrictor and imperator I thought it was needed. A Brazilian BCC X Crawl Cay BCI is still a BCI X BCC (constrictor X imperator) but they would look a heck of a lot different.
