Theres no doubt its a Central American(poor picture or not)
The Dorsal,Lateral,Ventral patterns are common CA traits,markers or whatever term one chooses for locale confirmation purposes.
As to debateing Colombian influences ? Not much need as its very minimal at best.(if at all)
I would enjoy a better look of that animal,our primary focus is on CA forms and that one displays some unique qualities/diversity we see within our specific groups.I would speculate but it would not likely go to far.We'll save that for the future when we have liveing examples to support it.

>>noone has identified your boa. That boa cannot be identified with 100% accuracy. He is not a new morph. He is all Boa constrictor imperator and most likely a cross between localities. I would wager Colombian x Central American. I say this because (although hard to tell from the photos) the boa has a heavy CA influence, many speckles, small tail blotches, and looks to have a high saddled count. However, most CA boas are not that light, so there may be some Colombian blood. Many Central American and Honduran boas have red or orange bellies and the same colors on their body. He is a good looking boa, but again, he is not a new morph. With better pictures, a little more information may be derived, but that's what I see. Congrats on finding a good looking boa and good luck with him.
