Is this a trick question ? I hope not.

I'm not a locality person, but my guess would be Peruvian.

This boa is a 2006 female 50% Suriname/50% Colombian, 66% possible Het. for Kahl Albino (Todd Smith). I believe she was somewhere around 6 months old in that photo.
She looks like a Peruvian to me, but I know she's not.
Your snake looks most like a Peruvian, too. But who knows.

He is Iqitos Peruvian that resembles a Pucallpa that I have as well... Just posting that pic to see how people make determinations on locale.
Thanks
Joel

This is one thing I think determines a Pucallpa...identification of an adult. They get dark, but the dark over-wash diminishes as it approaches the [dorsal] saddles. The saddles have a bright aura of the original [yellow] around them. Hope that makes sense. Just something I've noticed in Pucallpas more so than others. May just be my imagination.

You got it... trying to see how we determine locales, This particular snake ressembles a Pucallpa I have.
