Looks like a Nic but you really can't tell just by looking when it comes to identifying locality. Without a history on the boa you can only take a guess.

Cool looking animal anyway

yea i baught it as a redtail but was told by someone else it was a central american, but from looking at pic's it also looks like a anerythristic? thanks for the reply.. he actually looks alot better now that it final shed completly

Well I can assure you it's NOT a redtail..... Redtails are from the BCC group of south American boa constrictors.... this particular boa is a bci.... aside from that... like Dak said... there is really no way to tell locale... it's better not to guess and just call it BCI of unknown origin
