I think you're spot on! Origins are waay too diluted to trace back now to specific localities. I do have a pair of Mad. Ground Boas that came from Europe...from a gravid wc female no less! There's more to that story but I would only be speculating.

Odd thing is they look nothing like all the closely related Acrantophis in US collections..dorsally they more closely resemble Dumerils. A head scale examination shows the striking differences in head scalations however. They are also far more "robust" in girth and over all size than Dumerils. I'm really curious as to what their offspring will look like. Here's a pic of their head scalation.
