You've most likely heard this before, but to start, you can't know for sure just by looking.
Having said that it does "look" like common bci. Colombian bci.
I know I will never know for sure but I wanted some thoughts as I have never seen a young colombian before I had an adult at one point but the diffrence between the adult color and juvie color really threw me

The difference in the natural color of normals will blow your mind.

She is certainly absolutely gorgeous! She looks so purple in that last pic! :O
yeah she has a super nice color im hopping she keeps her darkness into adulthood
There are some things you can do if you really have to know:
1. First, count the number of saddles from behind the end to the cloaca.
2. Secondly, wait for a full clean shed and keep the skin. Then do a scale count. (Scale counting can be a little in-depth but when cross referenced with various sources, you can get a better idea of locality (if it indeed is a certain "locality" other than plain ol' central american boa - which may be unlikely).
Alternatively, if you can't be bothered with the above, email these pictures plus some more (from different angles) to either -
a) Gus Rentfro
b) Vincent Russo
both hugely known experts in their field. You can find their personal email addresses through a quick google search. They can probably give you a fairly accurate ID.
Thank you for the information!
