Female Central American Boa Size?

[Flint]

Well, I'm a bit upset now. I emailed the breeder and asked just for laughs (because they haven't responded to ANY emails about canceling the order, I didn't expect a response to this and this is what she said - she is a baby from the central americans I got from Pete Kahl. He said nicks. The mom is a het and about 8' the dad was a T+ and about 5'.

So she's a Nicaraguan?

Probably part nicaraguan. Nicaraguan has heavy influence in most central american crosses anyways(and a lot of the morphs you see too). But the mom being 8 feet sounds a bit fishy. Could have colombian or non bci blood in her.

So I'd just label your snake a "central american boa" and not take it any further.

One of the reasons why we need to be more careful when it comes to breeding. Some people just put any two snakes together because of aesthetics or money, disregarding the importance of preserving purity.
