Looks like Colombian BCI to me. BUT . . . you can never tell only by looking. To really know for sure you would have to know exactly where it's ancestors were caught. Even counting scales can be misleading. A mutt CAN exhibit the same number of scales as either of it's ancestors. It's definitely not a Guyana or Suriname, or other Amazon basin BCC, likewise it's not a Peruvian. That much is obvious. Some Colombians have a thinner head and bright colors, and that boa doesn't look all that clean to me by current BCI standards. I don't think how clean a boa is is a measure of anything but that, it doesn't indicate any particular locale, in fact to me it says there's a high likelyhood that selective breeding has been involved. The more generations away from the original habitat, the more likely it IS a colombian too, and from the Northwest corner, because that's where 99% or more came from in the past.
