She could be a cross between the two. How big is she?
Cheers,

Too big for a central, not big enough for an argentine. How old is she?

I'd say its really nice dark central.She dosent seem to have any reds in it. It would be interesting if you could get some more clear pics of her bigger too. Did you mesured it with a string to say its 6 1/2 feet or its an aproximation? I have a female central that is maybe 6 1/2 - 7 ft and 6 ft is common for adult females.

Central American Boas cover a broad range of localities. They can be anywhere from 3.5' all the way to 7 and even 8 feet.

I agree with Linds and Stav, that doesn't look anything like an Argentine to me.
