Out of the Pucallpa group.

Actually, I think he is a stunner...

that locality? Are they generally larger than the Iquitos animals?
Thanks,
Eric

This particular group seems to top out at around 7'. But I have another known Pucallpa female which wants to grow to 3 meters. That same one also looks a lot more like the Iquitos boas I have and have seen.

If you look at a whole bunch of these you can pick out exceptional ones with pattern or color anomolies and see there is a difference in the population, but there are few (if any) absolute diifferences between the locales. So just looking at one, particularly if it has not been bred to enhance some specific set of traits, and trying to say with certainty 'Pucallpa' or 'Iquitos' would be a tough call.

In my experience the Iquitos boas are on average larger, perhaps even the largest, of the redtails. Long, and heavy, huge heads. Still not a threat to the human race or anything, but big impressive reptiles.

Thanks for your kind remarks..
