HI all , I am Ah - CHen a boa keeper in Taiwan . Actually , our local reptile importer has imported some boas from wild caught in Central America . Most of the imported boas are normal BCI and not so special . Therefore , we found 2 specimens are very srrange , they looks like boa from Nicaragua and Corn Island . This is a an exciting doscovery for us , however , we don't enough information to make out what region them came from , so I prefer post their pics on this fourm for asking you exprence boa keepers and breeders . Please supply me some usefull recommends .

Thanks a lot .

I would say that they are nice Nicaraguan's but not Corn Island's the last pic may be a hypo nic due to the lack of black around the tail, but it looks more like a nice normal to me. You are going to have to raise her and breed her to be sure.

Is there any way to distinguish if a NIC comes from the Pacific coastal region or the eastern Carribean side of Nicaragua?
