i would also say C. c. paulsoni, but i'm a avid by the book kinda guy and it looks like alot of these can only be TRUELY distinguished by scale counts. Which can be a hassle, just tracking down the paper that contains these scale keys can be a problem.

take care,

I would say it is a perfect Golden morph of a Halmahera Boa, or exactely called: Tasma´s Bevelnosed Boa - Candoia paulsoni tasmai.

It is a nice animal and thanks for sharing,
Fredrik
