That goes back to my point of calling them "Iquitos Type" or "Pucallpa Type" animals. Agreed they vary. But there are characteristics for the Trade Locality Types. An Iquitos Type animal might not have anything to do with Iquitos, but is in fact line bred to accent that particular locality's accepted/adopted characteristics by the boa trade. Does anyone remember when all the Peruvians were called "Ortoni" in the trade, which in fact they were not? Nothing is truly locality without documentation. That's the way the Chondro people do it, by such-and-such locality "Type". Such artificial definitions work quite well for them.
