You could be right Mr. Manny.
It does have a Peruvian looking head and a relatively low saddle count. It's kind of fat isn't it?!
Here is a Peruvian that could pass for it's brother:
Don't think so? Here is his sister:
Here is a picture of a pair of the babies the two I showed above produced a few weeks back:
Then again, when you don't have better information regarding the origin of an animal, it's really just a guess. A scale count can be helpful but certainly not definitive. Peruvians usually have 90 plus scale rows. Colombians usually have 82-88 scale rows at mid-body. That still does not guarantee anything though. I have personally not counted the scale rows of a known Colombian with more than 90 scale rows or a Peruvian with fewer than 89. I have counted at least 30 of each mostly in the late 1980's and early 1990's.
Have fun!
