1. There are plenty of other Boas with squared off saddles. -yes but not many with spots in them....

2. There are plenty of other Boas that almost look Anerythristic. -yes, but its a deep deep dark red/brown color isnt it? you can barely see it

3. There are plenty of other Boas with only 20 total crossbars from head to tail tip although this is very unusual for a "normally" patterned Colombian that is not missing saddles. -true, makes them unqique in appearance

4. The tail pattern is 7 or 8 tail markings long making it typical for most Colombians-YES but in these snakes it looks different than most colombians for some reason...

5. The single spot pale pattern element within many of the saddles is odd. -ours had this spot as well.

6. The rear 2/3 of the animal has nearly no "Saddle Points" whatsoever and those that are there, are still separated from the saddles by that pale light line. -this is what I mean by the tail end looks different....refer to number 4, lol

Did the imports that you sold have this distinguishing and differentiating pale line like this one has? If so, perhaps someone that purchased some of these will post pictures of them. I haven't seen any before. By the way, this one is 2 1/2 years old. She will be three next year.-

-yes they did, as babies the line looks almost white and faded as they grew, one customer sent me photos of it as it was bigger but havent heard from him since....you can tell the line had gotten darker and not so prominent....but you can still tell it is there just not white anymore, if i remember correctly they were brought in about 3 years ago in 2004? im not sure anymore id be lying if i had an exact date, even the babies that were "normal" had the white line....real neat snakes
