There is a difference, it is not a solid-line difference and the difference has been diluted by the free-exchange of specimens in the modern exporting practice..



Suriname snakes are (historically) better captives, have an average lower saddle-count and are generally (not positively) less colorful..



These debates go on and on one's opinion is going to be based on your experiences.. my experience is that they are closely related, some are practically identical.. but there are differences and breeding populations that display those differences is a worthwhile effort.



Have fun and be safe...
