I've done a lot of research on this locality and what I have found out is that nobody seems to know that much about them...lol. I have heard from people in the herp community that they can reach a length of anywhere from 5' - 13' and that they can do anything from eat a full grown child to heal people with their magical snake-like powers.

I've talked with two people that actually lived in Panama and they both said that the boas they have found there get about 5' - 6' long, so that's as close as I could get to realistic information.

Matt, are these a new group or old pictures? Do you know about how many Panamanians have come in since 2005's first shipment?

Hey Chris,

I just picked these up last night...no hypos, just reverse stripes and missing saddles. Since the first shipment of '05 there were only about a dozen more animals that came in that year and none last year. My buddy who I got these from said this will be the only shipment this year.
