i bought this off a local petstore today and it was labled as an argentine boa but i'm really not sure if it is. I havent had much exposure to the baby argentine's do they darken up as they get older? The flash kinda killed some of the color ( or lack there of) in the snake. It has very little color was almost thinking antheristic ( did i spell that right?) any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

NOT an Argentine. Below are some pics of a young Argentine and an adult, high contrast, black and white Argentine. Your snake is a Colombian boa (BCI). Nice and clean and all Colombian (and not anerythristic). That boa has brown in his tail. Note the third pic, no brown. Your snake is a good looking Colombian, but was mislabelled. If you are not happy about that, I would let the shop know.

I think that is a BCI (normal Colombian)
Here is a PIC of an Agentine:
