hey everyone i was jus doin the normal clean thing and noticed something unexpected on my mystery girl... she has a orangeish red belly before i thought it was jus due to her goin into shed but shes shed out and the color is there i originally thought her jus a columbian but didnt think columbians usually had colored stomachs. she has very nice pink hues up both sides and i dont currently have a belly pic but will get one tomorrow when its not 2:30am but heres a pic i posted about a week ago of her outside. if shes jus a columbian cool no worries but since i know nothing about her thought maybe id see if anyone would think this could be something besides my original thought or something else in her mixed with columbian? sorry so long but oh well thanks for any replies

Some common Colombian boas will get that orange/pink wash, or splotches of color on their bellies...it can be a little, or a lot, depending on the individual boa.

Colored bellies are often seen on Central American boas, but from the size of the dandelion flower in the picture, she looks to be very large...I doubt there's any Central blood in her.

My guess would be she's a common boa, that has some color to her...
