Re: What kind of boa is this?
Some good pictures of different localities here: Home | Stöckl - Die Nr.1 Boa constrictor Seite im Internet
First of all I am a noob, not a boa expert, so don't take what I say with any weight, I'm just looking at pictures and giving a guess.
Squirtle yours looks a little like the Ecuador locality BCI to me. Yours probably was not pure, but maybe had some in there? Check that site and see what you think.
Terranaut possibly anery as far as the color morph? The color looks close to my anery Nicaraguan girls. I don't see any red in the tail at all, just brown. Could be my monitor though. Probably pastel too, I don't see any black flecking for sure until right near the tail. Locality wise it looks like the Mexico or Columbia BCI, but again, probably not pure.

Re: What kind of boa is this?
I would just like to say this: there are no boas from Columbia. There are, however, boas from Col ombia  I don't like to be anal, but "Columbian" boas have been thrown around in this thread more than a few times, not to mention many other threads. Same as "Hogg Island" boas - these Islands do not exist, but the Hog Islands do!

Thanks!  It's just a little pet peeve of mine, not trying to be critical, just helpful - I certainly don't pick at people's minor spelling mistakes, but this, I believe, is worth pointing out because many people wouldn't even realize "Columbian" or "Hogg" are incorrect because they've seen others spell them that way, so until correctly informed, people (who I'm sure would not want to make these mistakes), will continue to do so. I know I would want someone to point this out to me.
ANYWAY - to the OP, your boa looks like a BCI to me, possibly a "fine line". The Boa Basement - Fine Line Colombian Boas
Fine line boas have thin/narrow saddles (kind of like the Boa constrictor amarali, aka: Bolivian boa), although I do not know much at all about the genetics behind this pattern mutation, but I do know that it is line bred, possibly a recessive trait...please correct me if I am wrong.
It could just be a normal with unique patterning, but it looks like it could have some pastel influence going on so really, who knows? It's impossible for anyone of us to tell you with complete confidence what his genetics are. Whatever he is though, he's very handsome

So this is a BCI with some sort of pastel gene?
The colours are spot on on my iPhone. Same as the snake. |
Terranaut: This looks like either a pastel or hypo to me, but more pics would help.

Re: What kind of boa is this?
His saddles are very interesting, almost like a low expression jungle (ie: Jungle 50% Possible Het Albino | The Urban Boa). His head marking is very cool too - whatever he is, he's quite special and I would be proud to own him too if I were you

After about 15 + hours in total of looking at 1000's boas I believe this guy to be a Ronne Pastel .
I found a few pics that were so close to our guy I thought it may have been him.
See
This female looks just like Mack. I mean wow!!
