any one know what boa is a slate blue with yellow circles and a very dark tail. i have pic's but cant figure out how to put them in my post

got the pic to work

Your boa has very similar coloring to my female het for Albino Boa that I got from tracy Barker in 2001. They are very yellow and blue and make for interesting looking boas. I don't know what locality was used for her line.
thanks

OOOOPS, different story..

But to your question... In the 80s and early 90s many boas like that were imported. Strong pattern, not too many specks, clean or mostly clean ventrals, plastic-grey looking with hints of color or even scattered colored scales, yellow, peach, rose, blue..

I saw a pile of them at an importer in Tucson, he said they were from Honduras. Before that I saw them at the facility of a wholesale fish importer here in Brownsville, they did come from Honduras.. from the same people who were (at that time) offering the original albino BCI..

They have an interesting look which should be cultivated. That look also apparently doesn't mix well with a lot of other stock.. witness the number of butt-ugly hets that were and still are around.

Hey Gus,
Do you bred any pure Honduran boas? I checked your site, but didn't see any on there. I was wondering if you had any pictures of some examples of this locality.
Thanks,
Eric

Buddy, I don't have any Hondurans now and I wish I did. But I'm working on it..

Be safe..
