hi i was just wondering what type of Boa do i have ? i posted some pics on photo section to show him off and i was told he looks like a Mexican Boa i was just wondering what everyone else thinks . So here he is ....
Common or Mexican Boa ?
- Thread starter Lillydafish
- Start date
When i got him from rep store he was up for sale as a common and he has this lovely irredecent colour , abit like a rainbow but not as much is this normal in a common as i aint seen it in any pics before..... Here is another pic from when i first got him you can see the irredecent colour on his tail and on the back end
Mexican boa all the way.
Here's a page with a little info on them:

Here's mine, which I got as a baby from 2 parents that were long-term captive, but originally brought into the country as WC babies.
Some of them get darker as they get older, others turn tan-ish in color. The pattern on mexican's is unmistakable, though...the pattern of their saddles are completely different.

looks like a maxicana to me...but im not that great at judgeing snakes...seeing as we dont have them here in hawaii...but i have read and such and like i said looks like a mexicana to me...
Kool Thanks guysWhats even loonier is that you're in the UK...pure blooded mexicans are pretty rare in the US. You'll see a lot of the mixed with Central American boas that retain that tan color that red-tails have but show the busier, less defined patterned that mexican boas have.
Either way, nice boa!
