hehe HI THERE!! go here: Boa Constrictors (http://www.boa-constrictors.com) This site should help you out just a bit. As far as classification goes... none of those are listed under imperator. Here is why:

Genus: boa

species: constrictor

subspecies: constrictor, imperator, occidentalis, nebulosa, ortonii, longicauda, sabogae, amarali, orophias, melanogaster

Now, for ssp constrictor and imperator, there are different "locales":

constrictor: Guyana, Suriname, Peru, Colombia (rare), Trinidad, Brazil, Venezuela

Imperator: Colombia (common), Hogg Island, Mexico, Belize, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras, Ecuador, Peru


Does that help some? How's the brb doing?
