The biggest 18 month old boa you will ever see

[SPJ]

The male is in shed but here is the big girl. She has grown an incredible amount since I've had her. Really good size for a 1 1/2 year old. The male is just a hair larger but he is also a bigger pig than her.

Can not believe this did not get a reply. These are such cool boas bro. Did you keep them? I seen you had one of your pairs up forsale

I had quite a few redtails, they are my favorite snake! I got busted out by someone in my town. The cops came and pretty much told me to leave. They never even seen my snakes since they were locked in a room. They were all over 6 foot and I guess that is illegal here in wonderfull Illinois. Nice snake what is it? I kinda see a cross on the head so that rules out columbian right?

That is a bluefield. Awesome snakes and not many people have them.

"I kinda see a cross on the head so that rules out columbian right?"

Is there any significance to a cross-like marking on the head? I recently got a boa that has one and I wouldn't mind knowing what, if anything, it means.

This is info SPJ has posted on another site

Here is what Ron has on his site about these. They have never been offered before

Named for the city of Bluefields where our breeding stock originates from.
Size: Males average 4.5 to 5.5 feet / Females 5.5 to 6.5 - largest 35 lbs at 7 feet.
Unlike the commonly imported "Central Americans" from the Pacific side of Nicaragua, very few people have ever seen these boas, which range from the area of Pearl Lagoon in the north all the way south towards Costa Rica on the east coast of Nicaragua.
Some specialists suggest that "Columbian" type genes are represented on this side of Central America along the coast north through Panama, Costa Rica and this portion of Nicaragua. These boas are more closely related to Costa Rica geographically than to the Pacific Ocean side of Nicaragua. Perhaps they are also more closely related genetically.
Note the great light color, lateral rosettes, saddling and head markings. I have found that the tangerine nuchal (neck) blotch is a trademark of the Bluefields Boas along with the large amounts of tangerine marbling within the saddles

You know, 6 feet is much more doable for most than 9 feet and for those of us that love boas (yet don't know much about them) this is excellent information. Any more info on bluefields? I'm googling but love hand-outs.

I forgot to add, beautiful boa.

I do not know much about this locale. SPJ knows a lot more then me.

I have thought twice to three times about picking up this pair.

Lets just say SPJ has a lot of stuff I want.
