Tarahumara? Central? Nic? What is he?

Gregory Jan 21, 2008 03:02 PM

I got this lil guy a couple of weeks ago but the guy I got him from knew nothing about him. I tried as best as I could to capture the odd coloration he has. He's darker around his saddles, random dark and light streaks everywhere, pink along his sides and he has that odd orange belly. If needed I can get pics of him outside in natural sunglight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

He does seem to have a lot of Nicaraguan influence. Although he could be a cross. nics, sonorans, colombians, and of course hondurans all can have orange bellies.

I got him here locally but the store I bought him from got him somewhere in Fla. The only other boa that came in when mine did was a female that my buddy (he owns the store) decided to keep because she looked like a hypo Nic. Its amazing how much of a color change this lil guy can go thru, almost like the Hogs that I used to have.

Maybe it's from a Hog X Nic breeding. Just didn't quite make the a Hypo Nic.
