Opinions please...what am I?

I've had this boy for about 6 months and can't find any other pictures of boas that look like him. The individual who I obtained him from said that it was sold to him as a Honduran, but there was no way to confirm this. He's about 5', around 10lbs and is roughly 7 years old. Let me know what you think he may be...I've just been calling him a Central American Boa...possibly a Nic? Also he's much darker than this photo shows.
Thanks,
Pete

I purchased a VERY similar boa a few weeks ago from a guy that said it's about 6 years old, with an unknown origin. He looks about the same in color as that one if not darker at times, and his underside from about the mid point of his body to the tip of his tail is mostly orange, salmon, and black spots. The other difference I noticed about him from my other boa, is that instead of just a line down his head running perpendicular to his body, he has that line, plus one crossing it connecting the eyes, so looking at him from the front, he has an inverted cross on his head. He has lightened up a bit since I've had him though. Still, a rather unique looking guy (at least to me) If you get any idea on al ocale let me, know, I'd like to know what it is that I've got.

Looks like a Central American for sure. What country, I have no idea.
