If the boa you see is a morph, and the locale is not labeled, it is usually a Colombian.

The Nicaraguan counterparts to Colombian morphs are usually labeled with their locale, but not always. Type II Anerythristics for instance are not always labeled as Nicaraguan, but that is because they don't exist in Colombian strains.

Blood boas originated out of El Salvador, and usually don't include a locale label. Most of the Bloods available have Colombian or "Salmon" blood. (The Salmon is an intergrade from the start so to keep things basic those are usually called Salmon X's)

Leopards are Sonoran (or at least believed to be). The DH Leopard Albinos are Sonoran X Colombian. (No T-negative Albinos have been produced in the U.S. except for Colombians)

If you are looking for Dwarf boas, any of the Mexican locales, Insular BCI, and some C.A. BCI locales are great.
Cay Caulker, Crawl Cay, Sonoran, Tarahumara Mt., Corn Island, Panamanian, and Nicaraguan are a few that can be purchased (some are extremely rare, such as Crawl Cays, Tarahumara Mt, and Panamanians (only about 60 from Panama).)


In general a well fed male of any BCI locale will be easily manageable. Each locale has its own look, and appeal. Just do some research and see what you like.

Here is a picture of one of my Panamanians:
