She has that orange rust color that extends most of the way(2/3)along her flanks.Her tail from half way back is red top and bottom.Just a really pretty snake,I think.

Those do look like the boas I have seen that were from Honduras parents, some have more of the rusty color and others are a little more olive.
neat boa..

Thanks Gus!It's good to be able to call on all of you "Boa Brainiacs" for advice and info.
Quick question<
I have had these guys since they were babies and this is the first year I tried cooling them in the evening(70-75top to bottom gradient) and normal in the day(75-90,gradient from top to bottom.)The female just shed and looks very much thicker then previously noticed.Her belly also feels like jelly(soft and squishy,for lack of better words,lol)They have been housed together and seperated intermitantly throughout thier lives.I have never noticed a copulation or quarting,but then again,they have been in a rack system up until the last week.She is not extremly fat and went off feed for about three weeks(male did the same,but is back on again.She has also developed a bit of an attitude(very touch sensitive)She never was before this year.
-I know it's hard to get anywhere with just descriptions,but could she be gravid(anything else i should look for)
-Do gravid females normally feed?I thought they stopped?
-what size clutches(if she is gravid now or for the future)should I expect?
Once again calling on your expert opinions.THANKS!!!
