CORN ISLE BOA [boa constrictor subspecies]
This is a new species that is now imported from Nicaragua. It is very similar to the Hogg Isle Boa in the respects that it has the ability to greatly change its color more than the other boas from a very light color to a dark almost black coloration.Its colors look similar to the common boa however the saddles are usually lighter in color and the tail is a more orange brown color.It does have lighter pinkish orange sides that can be beautiful when the boa is in its light phase.It is also a smaller boa reaching 5 ft. in length.It just came into the pet market last year and to my knowledge has not been bred in captivity, although breeding is probably the same as the hogg isles. It seems as if this may be a hogg isle boa from a differeent local. It has a pleasant temper at least the ones I have worked with.

This was most of the info I found on them. I couldn't find many pics. Hope this helps.
