hi! once again I posted before but didn't really get an answer.

Still trying to find out what kind of redtail boa this is? I think we are going to sell her, but we have no idea of what to call her when we type our ad.

she is real dark, kind of on the green side, and iridescent, with a partial stripe on her tail (see pic 2). She is around 5 1/2-6 feet long, and we think she is full grown. We have had her for almost 3 years and figure her to be somewhere around 5 years or so but not sure. She eats large rats.

we were thinking some sort of island boa, or mexian, but we aren't sure since we haven't seen one like her yet.
anyone please help?

Call it a Central American boa,(or just "B.c.i." of unknown origin? rather than calling it something based on a guess from us,just be straight up about it? without any info from the person who produced,or,imported it...all the opinions in the world really don't mean anything.

n/p

they weren't exactly sure what she was

I live in Phx and back around 4 years ago, before I was really into boas, I had a female that looked exactly like her and sold her to someone for $40 (dope!!!!....lol). Can you tell me what store in PHX you purchased this boa from.

My friend said he got her at Preditors. if it is the same snake do have anymore information about her that you might be able to pass along to us?

that looks like a Mexican Columbian Cross with a little more Mexican showing then the Columbian. Maybe a 3/4 Mexican Columbian Cross. I'm not saying that is EXACTLY what that is, but I have made some of those crosses myself, and as they are reaching the 5 foot mark, they strongly resemble that snake. Good luck with it. I think they are beautiful snakes. Jeremy Stone

Also, it could be a Nicarguan/Columbian Cross. Just a guess
