Looks a lot like my tarahumaras. How old is that one?

Whoa I have no idea, but it's gorgeous!

Tarahumara, but wow it's light. Where did you get it and who produced that beauty (cuz I want one).

I really like both of those Taras! :)

Okay, thanks for the reassurance everyone! He is a Tarahumara that I got from Stephen over at Scaly Babies. I was a little concerned because he is so much lighter than my female (pictured below), and always has tended to keep that lighter shade. Someone a while back had made a comment about his head spear not looking right, and it started to get into my head. I absolutely adore him, either way. He is now approximately 1.5years. Loving this species, and once my argentine outgrows her tub in the rack, will probably add another female.

Seems to be a persistant opinion held by some out there that the head spear of a Tara MUST be black, and anything lighter means the animal is not pure Tarahumara. Well, I have Russo's book, with photos on pages 91 and 92, showing Tarahumara boas with head spears that are dark brown, not black. I recall other similar pics on his site too - brown spears.

That might be what they were referring to.
I am not an expert, and don't own this locality (wish), but it does look like a Tara to me.

Wow, that's interesting. I have a 2013 female he produced and she is very dark. My other two are 2013's from a different breeder and they are also dark.

Did you get both of yours from Stephen? If so are they unrelated?

And... uh... I may send one of my females down to visit that boy in a few years. :D

Haha, we will see! Yes, they came to me as an unrelated pair, but I do not know his true origins. I'm sure I could bother Stephen about it, but I'm not that worried. My female must have come from his stock, since she seems dark like you say yours are.

I really love how that guy looks! Mind sharing some info on these beautiful boas? 😍 Heh heh
