I would think solomon by the looks of it, the head is totally different to my pair of halmahera's. Also the zig zag is clear and unbroken and also bearing in mind the colours. Its only my oppinion but I can only go against the look of my own two halmahera boas.

hope this helps, although all people have different views on identifying candoia.

have fun................linda
