I know a lot of folks dislike the dark ones, but that animal is gorgeous! Nature gets it right.

Thanks..
.
But I'm unsure if that boa is really all that dark.. clean it up and it probably would be as nice or nicer (and brighter) than an adult (7-10 year-old) from many captive lines of Colombian boas.
.
It's impossible to see everything about a boa just from a quick photo.
.
But yes, I certainly would want a few of her babies over very many captive-produced Colombian boas I see.

And have seen some of the most beautiful boas there. I always wondered if I could bring anything back ever time I go to visit family......

I sure hope you do bring some back... if you decide not to keep them you can sell them to Gus (and a lot of other people) for more than many marketed MORPH boas..
.
Be safe...

that's the easy part, hide them in your socks, lol. actually I've heard it was very hard to get the paperwork through to be able to actually bring them into the country yourself.

Cant be done Legally so its a no brainer to the outcome if attempted based on public forum information.
That would be something you would never forget and always regret !
There is a "gray area" though ....LOL!!
