As I understand it it is just a line of argentines developed by selective breeding over time to have high pinks, and they do retain a fiar amount of it into adulthood as well. It will carry on through the offspring to an extent, but isn't a "morph". However it can be kept up through selective breeding.

As for your second question... I wish! Argentines are quite rare in Canada still, and I am not aware of anyone working with this line of argentines. These are appendix 1 animals which makes them nearly impossible to legally import.

There are several appendix 1 boas. I don't know them all off hand, but a few examples are Dumeril's Boas, Jamaican Boas, Puerto Rican Boas, Argentine Boas, and Madagascan Ground Boas. Hope this helped :)
