Joel,
I have been lurking over here for years and have aquired some very nice animal from what I have learned from you guys. That being said, I am a member of the alterna forum (Gray banded kingsnakes). Over there we regard locality to the highest standards. If you did not collect an animal or recieve it from the person who collected it or are not 100% sure exactly where it came from then it is a generic animal. If you are not 100% sure then it cannot be labeled as a locality specific animal. So as to those standards a locality boa is rare.
Because it is usually hard if not impossible to trace boa "roots", the names given are just labels. They are , however, representative of animals with typical traits that people associate with that lable. I would suggest that boa keepers not get hung up on the locality thing. The best you can do is tell buyers where you got the boa from and what it was told to you to be. Be honest in what you know the history of the animal to be.
