I was recently looking in the classifieds for some Nicaraguan boas and I came aross a post advertising Central American boas. Are these boas one in the same or are there many different types of Central American boas and they COULD be Nicaraguans but not necessarily?

Can someone help me out here.

Currently own:
1.0 '01 Hypo snow cornsnake (Tesla Coil)
0.1 '02 Ghost (pastel) cornsnake (Banshee)
1.1 '02 Bloodred cornsnakes (Desi and Luci Too)
0.0.3 Goldfish (Kabuki, Isamu, and Yuki)
1.0 '99 American Eskimo x ? mutt (Rusty)

Soon to be added:
1.0 '04 Type II Anery Nicaraguan boa
0.1 '03 or '04 Hypo Nicaraguan boa

There are other cities in this area as well, such as Panama, Costa Rica, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.
These countries all have locality specific boas, all somewhat similar, with many differences that are not too noticeable.

These countries are also smaler and closer to one another than countries in South America. So, for example, Honduras is much closer to Panama, than Peru is to Guyana.
I believe the chances of integration are much larger in this case.
Besides that, collectors who can't tell the difference often cross these locales without knowing, producing 'mutt's'.

Most Central American Boas I have seen advertised are of unknown origin and locale, which is unfortunate. These individual locales have beautifull and amazing distinctions.

One person who works with a diversity of these pure locales is Gus Rentfro of Rio Bravo Reptiles.

Thanks, Joe Rollo
