    They might be Tarahumaras, which is a true dwarf boa also.

    Very nice! I am not familiar enough with nics to give you a "yeah thats a nic" line, but it does look like ones I have seen around.

    I am fond of the dwarf species as I do not get into the larger boids.

    Great pick up none the less! Congrats!

    Central American boas don't know that they aren't allowed to cross borders... Many "central americans" that come from various central american countries will look similar, and many will look different.

    So it could be a true nicaraguan, or it may be a true el salvadorian... no way to tell for sure unless you know where its parents / grandparents or whatever were collected

    That said, it does look very nicaraguan to me
