That's a common Colombian Boa Constrictor(Boa c. imerator), As Chris mentioned, it is quite common for them to exhibit some pink coloration along their sides, and ventral surface. They typically get darker with age as well.

No way to tell if it's heterozygous for anything by looking at it though.......but it looks nice!

Here's a young female Colombian Boa of mine, she was extremely light gray as a baby, and has darkened up some since then, she's about eight and a half pounds now.


best regards, ~Doug
