How can you tell the difference?

[blayze_1]

For those of you with experience with BCC. How do you tell by looking the difference between the Surinam, Guyana, and Peruvian. I have a Suri and just bought a Guyana and Peruvian, thought haven't received them yet. But looking at the pics, it's hard to tell. I see a small difference but not much? Any secrets I don't know about?

My understanding is you can't tell by appearance.

Guyanese and Surinames are quite literally the same snake, there is no way of telling which area they were picked from unless you went out there and picked 'em yourself. Some people might say Guyanese are purple and Surinames are pink, but there is literally no truth to that. Specimens of both type are found in both locales. I don't have much experience with Peruvians, however from what I can tell from pics and what I have spoken to with others, they tend to have more of a yellowish appearance to them.

Linds said it all ;)
There's no way to differenciate them by color, pattern or scale count. ( Unless you know personnally a trustable exporter that will ship to you from surinam or guyana you wont know where they are from) The differences are made by the market with their colours and patterns.

My rescue is supposed to be a Suri but she is so dark and I never saw one like her. Actually she is darker than most boa pics that I've seen period. I was going to ask this very same question myself actually.
