Given the collection methods of the 80's and the breedings from those being "just as" scattered. Add to that the lack of correct/valid documentation,no one can rightfully claim specific locale on 99% of the CA animals in USA culture.Granted some do and its just plain bad business,but its allowed.
The stuff that is farmed today is no different then the breedings done from the first imports,sadly the "scattered" just doesn't stick !


>>Given Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south PLUS the fact that there is eastern vs western varieties FURTHER combined with the Corn Island form, it is fair to say that there is a lot of variation among Nicaraguan boas depending on exactly where they are found (IMO). Even in the various 80 nics that I currently have, there are some shared characteristics among them. As far as online, posted pictures go, I do not like to say what something is with 100% certainty simply b/c pics can come across differently on one computer vs another. I'll admit, it is far easier to say what something isn't. Anyway, I would say that your boa has some nic characteristics but I never claimed to be an expert so I would suggest that you contact the breeder and/or person you acquired it from to find out.
