Tarahumara boa ID

[andreyl333]

I was wondering if anybody can ID this boa if it's a true tarahumara boa. Picture from a seller.

I would believe it based on my three.

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?

Seller sad that he purchased her from breeder here in Denver, and the breeder bought his breeders from Rio Bravo.

But you know how that is he say she say. I just wanted on opinion from someone who has more experience with boas. She is a year old and only 24 inches. He also has two year old male that is 34 inches not sure about their wight.

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.

Sonorans have the head spear as well.

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