are you just saying that there are no boas with CITES from the island?

CITES are issued by the governing country. Unless Roatan Island (or rather the island chain) has its own government I would think even boas from the Island would be sent out from Honduras.
CITES papers also do not denote subspecies. They are really one of the weakest things to determine locality. The only thing on there is the country from which the boa was exported. For example, if someone had a CBB boa exported from the US to Europe the European keeper would have a copy of the export papers from the US, that doesn't make it a US boa.

This problem does occur with Sabogae. The documented stock are CBB in Costa Rica (for those not bred in the US or Europe), so the CITES for sabogae look the same as Costa Rican imperator. Some Sabogae are reported to come in on shipments from Panama, just stuck in with Panamanian boas. Again the CITES there just say Boa constrictor, and Panama. I have boas from CR and Panama with such CITES so that's why I am using those examples.
