SO I rescued this girl a couple of month ago and was told that she was a colombian boa, but her pattern does not scream that to me. Can you guys help me out.

She was in pretty bad shape when i got her and is covered in scars from what I assume is eating live....some are pretty severe....but I have her on F/T now and is doing well. Let me know what you guys think.

And why not throw in my HOG and pastel colombian

Thanks for looking

i would say she looks like a coloumbian for sure actually she almost looks like a low expression jungle from the looks of the pattern but i dont see much in the way of color like jungles have. anyhow good job getting her back in good condition.... regards

Thanks! not a really big boa guy so wasnt too up to date on all the pattern morphs.

Poor girl had no heat and was all coiled in the corner of a 55gal when i saw her...Had to take her with me....and she was free with tank so no complaint from me.

THnaks again

looks like a real nice columbian tho that hog is VERY nice. I cant wait till i find a extreme pair of baby hogs from beyond stellar parents

Thanks...In person it would make you sad seeing all the scars on the poor girl...she got beaten up.

Yes my Hog is completely beautiful...and is a complete sweerheart

I got this snake from Dennis Sargent in 06. She was imported as a newborn from the Rio Atratos region of Western Columbia. Your snake looks identical.

WOW that is cool...like a clone haha

Like i siad I have no idea where she came from or her entire history....I am assuming she was a petstore buy.

Poor girl if you look close at the part of the body that overlaps you can see one of the many scars on her. And under her chin area you can see where it is scared from her being chewed on there as well.....Sigh I really wish this stuff wouldnt happen...But at least she is in a much better place now
