I was told they were Ortonii (LOL what a joke) but does anyone
know what type of Boa this is?? I want to say CA, but who knows.
Any and ALL responses are greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance. These pics are from a few months ago

They look like Colombian Boas to me. Colombians are quite variable and those don't look even unusual looking to me...Thanks

Yes and to me look CA. It was so funny the guy that sold
them to me said Ortonii. I talked to a couple people and realised
QUICK it was not. The guy must have been under the influence or
something. Those were just pics of the female. The male is darker
and abberant, but have to get a new camera first.

When people knowingly misrepresent animals just for the sake of the dollar.... people like that need to be called out for who and what they are.

Or else I would not have bought them. He was looking in a book
and was like "this is what they are" Im assuming. Either way
they were shipped to me and they are the MEANEST Boas I have
hands down. Very unique if I do say so myself. She has the
lightness of a Costa Rican Boa (Lighter phase) and male is dark
and aberant.

There was supposed to be paperwork from they guy that bred them.
I still have not got that yet. I could (still not) see a Surinam
pair and exclaiming Ortonii, but BCI? NOPE!! I was none the wiser
when I got them, sowhen I got them I took snaps of them and sent
them to Gus and he was nice enough to explain to me what Ortonii
really were. THANKS GUS BY THE WAY. Im not really holding this
guy responsible due to his friend (supposedly) is a farm breeder
and told him they are what they are. After 8 months you kinda
forget about it and just go on.
