Although I now know what he was sold to you as, I had taken a guess before I knew, just from the pictures.

It is a tough one, and I am not 100% certain. I will say I immediatly (sp?) though Mexican BCI.

He has a LOT of characteristics similar to some of the Mexican, Mexican X Colombian, and Leopard Hets I have seen. The color and contrast is close to some populations of Costa Rican though.

My CR are Western, and are totally different, but your boa shows the contrast that I have noticed on Central Costa Ricans. His Pattern however tells me he is Mexican.

Since there have not been many Costa Ricans in culture until recently, and even less Panamanians, I would assume Mexican.
Simply through knowledge of what does and does not exist in the U.S., and through similarities in known animals a label of Mexican locality I think is the best.
I would also say to contact Mike and Gus. You may want to give Hans a try and see what he thinks. I have some pictures of Mexicans he sent me (not related to his Leopards) that look very similar. I don't want to post them without his permission though.

Take care,
Chris
