Brock,
. I am not sure how you are counting scales. Just looking at your PIC I can see what looks like it is gonna be scale row counts greater than 45. Obviously I cannot see all the way around your snake in the PIC but counting up from the bottom I get to 21 without getting all the way up to the backbone. When Terry first had Rainbow Boas from Peru on his website he was getting the babies from Ryan M. in Iquitos. At that time Ryan told me via email conversations that all of the Rainbows he was exporting from Peru were Brazilian Rainbows. Terry was pretty careful on his website to describe the snakes as Rainbow Boas from Peru rather than calling them Peruvian Rainbows or Epicrates cenchria gaigei. AFAIK Ryan still is the only person legally exporting any boids from Peru and his exported Rainbows are still all Brazilian Rainbows.

>>Hi, I've been recently been posting pictures of my peruvian rainbow boa. I didn't know exactly the history on him because he was given to me by a friend but i now know where he comes from. Terry Vandeventer emailed me and said that his buisness "Arco Iris Herpetoculture" is the people that gave birth to him in mississippi. Just wanting everyone to know that he is from the "Arco Iris" bloodlines!
