Anyone know what kind of Boa this is? A Black-Tailed CA Boa is what the guy I bought it from said it was. Is there such a boa?

Hard to say ??
Got a pic of it ?that postage stamp image looks like a CA.

M/

Lil better pic. sorry

looks like it could be a central, I don't know what the 'central american black tail boa' nonsense is but some, like the sonoran desert boas usually have black tails, or another type, anery forms of CA boas are lacking all red pigment... so black tails.

So how would I be able to tell if its a Sonoran or an Anery? If it is an Anery would it be Type II? The last Three spots on his tail are solid black, the other ones are mostly black with some scales showing some brown. However all of the ones with brown also have some black on each individual scale.

Thanks

Looks like an everday CA boa to me..... very nice though!

exactly what i wanted to hear! Someone's input.
Thank You

I agree with Gus, not Sonoran. Also not Type II Anery, you can see redish brown colors in the tail. And too much brown in the rest of it to be Type II Anery.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU. Looks like he is just a normal CA. I like him just the same, I love his purple irridessence. Reminds me of a "Purple" Guyana. Anyway Im babbling.

Thanks
