What kind of boa did I buy?

envy_ld50 Jun 15, 2007 09:35 PM

I picked up this guy at a local reptile shop. AZ reptile center in Arizon. The snake was dubbed as very aggresive by the shop workers it had bit a lady who was holding it I guess. Anyways the sides are so beautiful with a mix of colors (Pink, Green, and Orange and the snake a has almost a pale backround with an odd saddle shape. He has been VERY aggresive in his encose Hissing ver very loud and striking the glass as I walk by. I have taken him out simply by using a Oven mit to pick him up and show dominance and once he out hes perfectly fine with being handeled for hours. Any ideas why and or what species he is?

It looks to be of the Central American type.
