The closest i can come up with is South American. Since there are about ten subspecies of the red tail boa that is recognised he can originate from several possible locales. That is a guess with my limited experience with boas. Lol.

Same, the lack of red on the tail is what makes me think that

It is not possible to determine the locality of a boa by just looking at it, any boa of unknown origin should always be labelled 'Boa Constrictor' nothing more and nothing less. We would just be guessing, a mix of locality A and B might end up looking like locality C. Could even be a BCI/BCC mix.. Call it what it is: A Beautiful snake, nice pattern. :)

Like everyone else said, it's impossible to tell.

But, this is an excellent book on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Boa-Constrictor-Comprehensive-Geographic/dp/0978897927
