    Tarahumara boa ID
    I was wondering if anybody can ID this boa if it's a true tarahumara boa. Picture from a seller.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...85f0d81e78.jpg

    Sonoran Desert dwarf boas can look similar. Tarahumara is a locality within that locality.

    Without knowing who the breeder was or the background of the snake - who knows?

    If you are concerned do a search on the breeder over on the Fauna BOI. Someone selling snakes as Taras when they aren't will likely be outed pretty quickly. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=13

    Looks like a Tara to me. The head spear is just like the two that I have.

    With the same gold flecking? For some reason I thought that was mainly Tarahumaras.
