List of Boa constrictor Sub-Species and Localities
I am posting this in an effort to save the information where others can also readily view it. I've had so many folks ask me what's the difference between a sub-species and locality and/or ask "what kind of boa do I have??" What I would love to have all of you help me with is to post a picture of your Sub-Species or locality-specific boa here in this thread.
This list is as complete as I can make it. And please note: we are dealing with Species, Sub-Species, and Localities here - NOT morphs.
Hopefully, this thread can then be used to help people identify their boa and provide some insight to how this species is divided.

Re: List of Boa constrictor Sub-Species and Localities
Barranquilla Colombian BCI.
This locality is said to be what a natural cross between a BCC and a BCI would look like according to Vin Russo.
The scale counts differ from "common" Colombian BCI'S. These boas display almost perfect circles down their backs and often have ladder tails.
