Lightbulb If Suri is pink and a Guy is purple what is this girl?

I hope somebody here can answer this. She can get more purple than the photo shows. Is she Suri, Guy, or cross?
I'd like to find a suitable mate for her, so want to get everybody's opinion. Should I breed her to a purple or a pink male for best colored babies?
thanks for your input!o>
Laura

She's very pretty!! That's some awesome colouration! Truth be told though, you cannot distinguish a Suri from a Guyanan on colour. Some Suris are purple some pink, same with Guyanans. Basically, with some locals, the only way you can be certain of their origin is if you handpicked them from that area yourself. There is one train of though that believe both Guyanans and Suris are the same.
As for a mate, it would be difficult to find one to match her beauty, but I would try. It all comes down to preference with weather you choose a pink or purple male. Either way I don't think you can go wrong, she's a beauty.

Hey, that looks an a lot like my female suriname.
If you look at the peaks on her saddles it has the
traits of a Suriname. But there are always acceptions
to the rule.
Very NICE SNAKE!!!!!
If you ever decide to sell her, let me know.

suri or guy?

suriname and guyana are right next to each other and you will find many guyana's and surinames to look much alike , and in fact many believe both to be the same subspecias. also because the countries are so close many suriname's and guyana's inter breed. we call a suriname a suriname because it originated in suriname and like wise for guyana, but sometimes you find people offering surinames that are actually guyana's and vise versa. unless you know for certain that the snake or its direct descendants came from suriname then you can never be sure if its a suriname or a guyana. but never the less, reguardless of whether its a suriname or guyana, you have one beautiful representation of that locality specific boa. and if you ever decide to sell, give me a scribble and i will take it off your hands in a heart beat! o>
