    Top one looks like either a Suri or Guyana mix. The bottom looks more Bolivian... but that's just my opinion

    A good website for identifying localities is www.riobravoreptiles.com. You could even email the owner of the site---Gus---and see if he has any insights.

    Another is this site: http://www.regiusco.com/collection/bc.html
