    Re: Help Identify This Dwarf Boa Species

    I'm told it's a Sonoran Boa. Sound right?

    I am no expert whatsoever. I was under the impression that Tarahumara/Sonara Boas had Black spear markings on the heads.

    Yours has a cool brown cross. And a beautiful snake as well!

    How old is yours?

    I'm curious what kind of dwarf you may have. I don't recall anyone here having any.
    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    0.1 Normal Ball Python, Elvira, 2001
    0.1 Olive (Aussie) Python, Olivia, 2017

    Please excuse the spelling in my posts. Auto-Correct is my worst enema.

    Help Identify This Dwarf Boa Species

    Reinz, I actually have a pair both male/female and they're 10 weeks old. The local pet store put me in touch with the breeder who said they are Sonoran.

    Great, you have your answer.

    I reckon, the black spear head marking is not the only head mark then.

    I hope you keep us up to date on your pair. I am really intrigued by your snakes. Especially curious about how they will max out size wise.
