gayuna or suriname

[Solid Snake]

which species has a brighter looking colour? Not the tail i mean the body. I saw some really nice BCC but im not really an expert so i couldn't tell it was a suri or gaya.

it was really light tan and had a bright red and white tail.

some people believe these are actually the same snake. But, from what I've seen, those labeled surinams were more pastel-ish looking, and the guyanese are more purple/more likely to have darker saddles. I'm sure some of the boa-lovers here can give you more help that I.

Guyana and Suriname border each other, and the snakes have no concept of human borders. I think they are the same snake, but Kristina is right about the labelling - the more pinkish ones are usually called the suris, and the ones with the black or purple saddles and the darker tails are usually called Guyanas.

I have seen the pinkish and purpley both be reffered to suri or guyana. I think it is all where they were shipped from. I agree with Invictus snakes don't know borders.

They are the same snake. Although some people say that pinks are suris and guyanas are purple, I have seen just as many pink snakes exported from guyana as purple from suriname.

To show how variable these snakes can be, below pictured were all sold to me as Guyanese...
