Hey Brandon, All of the animals pictured in that post are Guyana BCC. They are the less popular next door neighbors to the Suriname BCC. Literally. Guyana is on the west side of the Courantyne river and Suriname is on the east side of the Courantyne river. They're the same snake from a scientific classification standpoint. And really the main difference is the country of export - which was decided by man made lines on a map with the river acting as a guide.
But at some point, it became cool to have a Suriname, and Guyanans were just garbage snakes. In reality, what happened was if it was good looking BCC from Guyana, the country of export miraculously was changed from Guyana to Suriname once it hit either the exporter, or the private owners hands I'm a little bitter if you can't tell, lol. I also like to pull for the underdog hence my love for Guyana BCC.
SO anyway, the animal in the first pic is a female I produced this year using the female in the second pic and a nice male. The female in the second pic is the same animal in the fifth pic that's wrapped around the two smaller males in the grass. However, the 2nd pic is from very recently and the 5th pic is from about 3-4 years ago. She has faded in intensity with regards to her color over the years. She's also had two litters which is partly (or maybe mostly) to blame for the dulling of her colors. The animal in the 4th pic is one of her sons from last year.
As for balls, I was giving you a hard time. I had a female a few years ago that was just as "outgoing" (if you will) as any boa I've ever had. They can be quite enjoyable!
Here's the single best picture (and most representative on that day) of the female that produced those two litters for me that I've ever taken, she was 2 years old when the pic was taken:

The days she looked like that were QUITE enjoyable 
Here are my top 2.2 picks from her litter this year

And the girl in the first pic in the previous post (as well as the pic above with her siblings) on a REALLY colorful day

That's one of the TRULY GREAT things about boas, they change colors. Some of them change colors a LOT.
Brown is going to be hard to get away from in boas Brandon, especially with your criteria for no morphs. Heck, some boas are ALL brown! lol
Again, best of luck finding what you're looking for! jb ----- Jonathan Brady *You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.*
