This boa was represented to me as an Anery Nicaraguan but I have my suspicions and was hoping to get some feedback...

I've had him for a few months now, great eater, no issues. His size causes me to question the Nic part of the equation - his head is about twice the size of my adult female Nic's head and he is about 1.5 ft. longer than her. He is 3 years old, VERY dark, almost black tail, no red anywhere, BUT he has orange speckles on his belly. That rules out Anery, doesn't it?

If you have a minute, check the link to his pic below. Please excuse my ignorance but I am new to Nicaraguans. Any feedback would be appreciated as I am trying to figure out what to do with this boy. Thanks
