Chime in if I'm wrong here... but this sub-species isn't the boa commonly refered to as the Peruvian Red-Tail(looks nothing like Bcc) but identifies a red-tail that isn't available due to range(political dispute)? I know that it was fairly common years ago to refer to all Peruvians as B.c. orontii but this was a misnomer....

I know, Ortoni was inapropriately used in the past, and the true subspecies only exists in the wild due to political dispute as you mentioned.

I think we have someone trying to work off of the general customer, not fully aware of what they are buying. A simple, and dishonest, sales pitch.

Costa Rican Firebellies ?
Where was such advertised ? No such critter that i can recall. Sounds like someone was scamming for bucks $$.

Costa Ricans are rare enough in culture, and Firebellies are a sub population of Roatan Island boas.

To top it iff, the ad pictured what looked to be a normal Colombian and a Nicaraguan with its classic orange belly.
