Here is a map of most of south America, as you can see the Amazon river does not flow in or near Suriname. And, though not clearly shown here, the border between Suriname and Brazil is a highland area which precludes Suriname being in the basin of the Amazon river. Major rivers in Suriname flow mostly northwards.



Those interesting boas may be all or part Suriname or they may be some kind of so-called Basin boa, but I think it is incorrect to call them Amazon Surinames.



Good luck with that,
