Or should I say she!!!oooppps!!!

As in what Local?

No, It's a Colombian...If you saw that snake on a table at a show how would you think it would be labeled...No surprises with this one.. Like I said.. Honest opinions... and a little info to support you hypothesis..

Al Brown/Brown's Boas

The tail is so dark I can't quite see for sure but I'd almost say I see a lack of red pigment in that snake. Lack of red pigment would be axanthic if i'm not mistaken. I have often seen those dorsal stripes in between saddles on surinams before.I'm not sure what your hopin to hear but I can't wait to find out what you believe is goin on with it.

Anery. Axanthic is a lack of yellow.

I was sort of thinking the same thing, but I'd need to see better shots of the tail.

Your right my bad.Brain fart.

I know whatcha mean....with me it's a chronic condition.

jungle?

Giving this thread till the end of the day! So far only one person has the well trained eye!!!

Al Brown/Brown's Boas

Het Sharp to me. Bold head pattern,first few saddles are peaked and clean as can be. Not to mention the blockey bold back saddles. Looks like a lot of the Het Sharps use to, pre Hypo Blood.

Looks like a typical but clean Colombian type Boa.

It has dark lateral medallions and a dark tail.

Doesn't look like a typical Anery Boa but
possibly a deceptive non Anery.

Although the really brown version of Anery do exist

I'm pretty certain I see some color on its cheek
just in front of the eye
might be the pic though.

Yeah, I was thinking of a brown anery, but the head spear looked too orangy.

Amie

Looks like a common boa to me.

All those that said just a normal boa!!!! Give yourself a pat on the back!!! Your brains have not been polluted by morph hysteria!

Ruben is the "BIG WINNER" she is actually a Het Sharp!!!! Ruben wins the all expense paid smallmouth fishing trip with yours truly as soon as he makes out to TN....

Like I said it wasn't a riddle!!!

Ruben you are the man!

just goes to show how much you likes them sharps

I do love me some Sharps!!

That's exactly what I was looking for. Hmm lemme see just what genetic morph is he thinking he has here.

LOL Al!

My first thought was 'oh that's just a normal' but then I was thinking 'well he wouldn't ask if it wasn't a morph so what could it be'... ha! You got me!

(it's a very pretty normal, lovely head spear)
