I know that doesn't make you or I get excited and see dollar signs or anything, but it's a possible explanation for her variance.
Had we been ball python guys, we'd have been hoping for this a long time ago, wouldn't we? LOL!

HAha! It's quite possible that she's something that's already been identified. It's also quite possible that she's not. It's likely that she's the result of overlapping territories, or even some unethical breeder.
I still have a sneaking suspicion that she's a Guyana Rainbow, which is thought to be a naturally occurring intergrade between Columbian and Brazilian.
Either way, like you said, dollar signs are NOT on my agenda, although out of all my snakes, they're the two I would like to breed once. I think people would be more inclined to keep them long-term than they would be if I bred my Carpets or Bloods - those poor things get passed around like trading cards in my area.
When all is said and done, you're the one with the *really* interesting Rainbow Boas (which I'd put money on being
E.c.assisi) and since those are so rare in private collections, you should post a pic of them here for everyone to Oooh & Aaah over. You won't see those everyday
