...could someone please lay out the differences (in pics if ya got 'em) between Peruvian B c constrictor and B c ortoni.
B.c.ortoni is not an entirely recognized taxon, but more valid than other non-recognized subspecies.
There are no definitive stock in the country, or in captivity outside of Peru that I am aware of, though many have sought permits.
Pictures can be seen on Vin Russo's website. CuttingEdgeHerp.com
Here is a 12 year old male..
