I posted this down below, but haven't gotten any feedback yet. I'm eager to know more about this new boa I got from a friend.
She got it from someone else who didn't provide any info. It's about 4 ft. long, is particularly dark (hyper-melanistic) and has a beautiful belly that looks like gray granite. The irridescence is always there. He shed about a week before this pic was taken. Off-camera, he looks as if he's made of black velvet. Any ideas what kind of boa it is? I've named him Elvis.

Any help would be appreciated.
