Looks like a Central American of some sort Anery. The picture also almost looks "gray scale". Almost but not quite. I do like the tease that is associated with this post. That's a real art form as you well know and you have done a fine job. A very fine job.

I would love to see a more true to color picture and a better angle to get a better look at it, but alas, that is not going to happen is it? Cool critter nonetheless...

I´ll try to get more pics of her. She has a nasty temper and really like fighting me.

What could she be???????

She is really black and white on the dorsal side and kind of a foggy blue on the ventral side. I bought her as a semi adult with no history. I´m pretty sure that there is occidentalis involved, and she is really clean anerythristic looking.

I will breed her to a jungle male this winter. Fingers crossed

That does look alot like a BCO to me. It also looks Anery,possibly a mix Boa.
The picture does seem a little a washed out as well though.
Love to see that Boa pictured outside in the sunshine.

I have an occidentalis X Suriname that looks very similar.
The older she gets, the paler her background color gets.

No I haven't seen this before. Any BCO type cross I've ever seen has alot or at least some color.
Its interesting though.

As she gets older, she has become paler, more washed out, and more uniform

Yours has a ton of color. The 1 posted above is so pale plus has a Blueish tint.
Appearing Axanthic possibly.

OK. Would you agree it is occidentallis X something? Either Bci or Bcc? I said mine was similar. Don't you see the similarity? Forget about the color. That was not the point I was trying to make. I do not believe it is pure occidentalis, but I do believe it is occidentalis X something?.

Oh yes definitely I agree with you. In my other posts I was saying BCO crossed with something else.
Absolutely Johnny at least that's my opinion not disagreeing on this point.
Plus I do understand now your point with your Boa .
The base color is very light or faded.

(Now for "SNL" Hope its funny this week,been lagging)
