Same as people some of us are from other countries and some of us are from here (USA).
Same with boas some are from colombia, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, etc and some are Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Salvador, Guatemala,Panama and all of the later are CA.

Not exactly. There is quite a bit of variation from locale to locale. Just cruising the forum pictures can tell you that. And not all central americans stay small. I have heard that Mexican boas and Costa Rican boas can be 9 feet. Hog Islands are probably the most striking in difference form any other locale.

Just my thoughts...

Surinams are Boa constrictor constrictor. Hoggs, Nics, and Colombians are Boa constrictor imperator, a different subspecies.
